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.
To ask State Senate candidates Toni Boucher, Will Haskell, Tony Hwang and Michelle McCabe, and House hopefuls Gail Lavielle, Stephanie Thomas, Greg Kraut and Jonathan Steinberg anything, email LWVWestportct.org.
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.)
The Chamber of Commerce will be holding a debate next Wednesday October 10th at noon. Will Haskell, Greg Kraut, Gail Lavielle and Jonathan Steinberg will be there to discuss their views on the state and business.
Hosted by the Westport Library, at BRANSON HALL, Chirst & Holy Trinity Church. Everyone is welcome. The audience can submit questions.
The league address does not work, tried it with westport also.

My bad on that typo. The address has been fixed. Once again, it’s LWVwestport@yahoo.com
