Joe Robach has finally agreed to debate Rick Dollinger. From the Dollinger campaign press release:

Rochester, NY – September 7, 2008 – Today, Democratic State Senate candidate Rick Dollinger announced a major victory for voters as he learned that Republican Joe Robach had finally agreed, after numerous invitations, to participate with him in a debate on the issues that are critical to the future of upstate New York. Dollinger cited his persistence, and the growing unrest from within the community, as being the key reasons for Senator Robach ultimately agreeing to a debate. The debate will be hosted by Rochester’s local ABC network affiliate 13 WHAM-TV.

“I am delighted that my opponent, Republican Joe Robach, has finally agreed to join me in a substantive public discussion,” said Dollinger. “At last, Robach has realized that he has to account for his record, and has acquiesced to calls for a debate. This is a major victory for the voters who have continually been betrayed by Robach and his Senate Republican colleagues in Albany.”
