LETTER
TO THE
EDITOR
Editor:
This morning, statewide candidates participated in a forum as part of the League of Cities and Towns Conference. (Democratic candidate for governor) Terry Goddard delivered a speech and addressed questions from the moderator and audience. Gov. Jan Brewer was nowhere to be found. Brewer once again denied voters the chance to see the two candidates side by side. This is just one of several recent instances in which Brewer ducked such an opportunity.
Here is what David Catanese wrote in Wednesday's Politico:
Goddard wants additional debates:
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, who shot to national prominence after signing the country's toughest immigration bill into law, has agreed to just one debate so far against her Democratic opponent Terry Goddard.
And their single scheduled face-off, required by the state's Fair Elections law, is set for next Wednesday - more than two months before Election Day and arguably too soon for Arizona voters to pay it much attention.
Goddard, the state's attorney general, recently requested six debates with Brewer...
Goddard told POLITICO, "I think it shows contempt for the voters and their right to know. Basically, I think that's who she is. She's not going to expose herself for the lack of a plan in any of these areas. How do you explain to the public that you're a billion dollars out of whack this year and you've got no plan for dealing with the next $2 billion in hits?" he said.
Sincerely,
Janey Pearl
(Goddard) Communications Director
