I don't know why it was not open to everyone, but the point that you have to remember is that every single member of the Falcon Landing Community is a registered voter in the district. They are the public. Mark Herring said he would not agree to go to that debate so we have ended up having nothing. |
If Yadkin County is competing for attention with Winston-Salem, certainly it is not inconceivable that its voice could be lost. |
The other problem I had was with the debate the League held last year between Dick Black and David Poisson. It turned into a fiasco. There were ground rules that were agreed by both sides, and as soon as the debate started, the other side broke every rule. I was not happy with the way it was run. |
You know, we were right in the middle of a primary battle, and the league was trying to set up a debate. I told them I could not commit to the day because our primary was one week earlier and if we won, we would have to spend the next couple of weeks gearing up and getting things taken care of in order to win the race. |
