Ramapo debateless?

August

So it seems that the Democratic primary for town supervisor will come and go without a debate between incumbent Christopher St. Lawrence and his challenger, Bruce Levine, the Spring Valley village attorney.

Levine said he has publicly challenged St. Lawrence to a debate, but the supervisor has not responded.

St. Lawrence told this writer on one occasion about a month ago that he wanted to debate Levine. But the supervisor has not responded to subsequent calls from this writer. So who knows? Maybe he changed his mind.

I think the lack of debate make perfectly good sense. Our incumbent has never liked answering questions or explaining policies that are controversial. A debate would certainly address some topics Mr St. Lawrence would rather not discuss. Saying you want to debate and setting a time and a place for the debate are two different things.
