SPARKS FLEW between other candidates at the debate as well.
County Board Chairman Paul Ferguson (D), who is resigning at the end of this year to run for the Clerk of Courts position, received some criticism from his opponent, Republican Mark Kelly.
"My opponent has had 12 years [on the County Board] to try," Kelly said, "But he has failed to show responsive leadership."
