    Eight of the nine individuals vying for positions on the Manhattan city commission gathered with residents Wednesday to share their stances on public issues.

    The forum, hosted by the Bocker’s II Catering and Events venue at 221 North Fourth St., covered topics including rising property taxes, housing, parking availability and the indoor aquatics facility proposed for CiCo Park.

    The candidates are competing for three commission spots. Candidate Abena Taylor was not present.
