Nachbar, Dollinger will get their debates

From Channel 13’s Sean Carroll:

Debates are on the way! I finalized commitments from 4 candidates to my debate invitations as of Tuesday night. I’m now getting busy scheduling in-studio taped debates which we’ll post on 13WHAM.Com for the entirety of this November election cycle. Portions will also be aired in our newscasts upon completion. As of now I can tell you that 56th District State Senator Joe Robach and his Democratic challenger Rick Dollinger will be one such debate. 55th District State Senator Jim Alesi and his Democratic challenger David Nachbar will be the other. (More to come I hope!)

    taped debates are limited. Is there any chance for the public to get involved?
    Who gets to formulate the questions and set the agenda for the debates?

    In-studio taped debates? Does that mean no live audience?

    I posed both your questions to Sean. Here is his response:

    No live audience, we want a level playing field for all debates & no issues of “packing the house” with supporters as some candidates have been known to do in past years.

    I will solicit questions from viewers on our website (of course can be linked to) once the debate itself is scheduled. I will reserve the right to use *only* questions that contain no bias & remain focused on the issues!

    More details to come once I nail down a date for each debate.
