From luring more business to Flowery Branch to the South Hall city having more of a community feel, candidates for City Council and the mayor’s office talked about far-ranging topics at a political forum Monday night. The 1 1/2-hour event, sponsored by the South Hall Republican Club, hit on a couple of touchy subjects but was mostly civil as candidates laid out visions for the city and talked about why they should be elected Nov. 7. Growth remained a steady topic throughout.
