With Connecticut teetering on the brink of financial disaster — and education, housing, transportation and infrastructure issues clamoring for attention too — the stakes are high in next month’s election.
So besides sponsoring their usual candidates’ debate, Westport’s League of Women Voters is taking one more step to ensure citizen involvement.
The October 29 event (7 p.m., Town Hall auditorium) will include questions from community members — and they can be emailed ahead of time.
Screeners — 1 Republican, 1 Democrat and 1 unaffiliated League member — will ensure that all questions are nonpartisan.
Can’t be there? The debate will be televised live on Cablevision Channel 79 and Frontier channel 90, and posted thereafter on the town website.
Whether you ask questions, attend the debate or miss it complete, don’t forget to vote! Election Day is November 6.
(The League of Women Voters is co-sponsoring this debate, with the Westport PTA Council.)
