Two county executive candidates will debate
|
In a forum sponsored by the Southern Standard, the two independent candidates will meet at the Warren County Administrative Offices at 5 p.m. for a one-hour debate.
Debate coordinator Bill Zechman noted all candidates for County Executive were invited to participate and expressed disappointment Rogers had declined. “Mr. Rogers is welcome and encouraged to participate at anytime,” Zechman said.
The participating candidates, Zechman said, will be asked by a three-member panel “substantive questions that go beneath the surface of politicking and sloganeering.”
Topics will include education, industrial development, economic promotion, quality of life issues, taxes, transportation, the jail and emergency ambulance operations.
Audience members will also be able to submit written questions to the candidates. This format will be used, Zechman said, to ensure the maximum number of questions can be answered in the time available.
The general public and supporters of the respective campaigns are encouraged to attend the debate. However, no signs will be allowed to be placed on walls. Additionally, everyone is encouraged is arrive early as seating is limited.
The debate will be broadcast live on WCPI 91.3 FM and WAKI 1230 AM.
