Politics as usual

Unfortunately......the reporting of the second debate between Hare and Zinga was just as candidate-driven as the first. To be expected......modern "debates" are more punch-line swaps than actual exchanges of points and counter-points.

Pray, let us pray, for an issue of the H-W between now and November 7 that identifies say, ten important issues of interest to this district and publishes a side-by-side comparison of each candidate's position on those issues. For once, let us not allow the candidates to pick their own topics. And wouldn't it be nice to see something similar for Street and Tracy? In neither case have we been given a shred of information about these candidates beyond what they choose to share with us.
