I was more than a little curious when I heard that the latest edition of  Charlie Shapiro’s NewTV program, “Newton Newsmakers,” features a debate of sorts between the candidates running to lead the Newton Democratic City Committee: Chairman Martina Jackson and co-chair Tim Snyder and challengers Shawn Fitzgibbons and Hannah Banks.

Unfortunately, Charlie tosses many softballs here. (It gets modestly interesting at about the 18:00 mark.) Also it’s disturbing that the incumbent thinks the (awful) city Dems website can also double as her campaign site. (That can’t be kosher and even if it was, why call attention to it?)  Here’s Fitzgibbons and Banks site.
