The recording starts out with a short debate featuring District 3 Governor’s Council candidates Marilyn Petitto Devaney and Nick Carter. Unfortunately, the forum planned by LWVN and NewTV with just these two candidates was canceled at the last minute by Devaney, so this session is the only recorded debate between these two candiates before the Sept. 4 primary.
The Democratic candidates for Middlesex County District Attorney, Marian Ryan and Donna Patalano, debated recently, at an event sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Arlington, Lexington and Winchester. You can watch the candidatesbeginning at the 24-minute mark.
Have to say, I was a little disappointed in the GC debate. I just hear political rhetoric, pandering. I wanted to hear how they would look into candidates who would apply the current law to the issues in front of them. Maybe they think that’s too obvious, but I don’t want political judges….maybe that’s me.
Nick made errors and Marilyn capitalized. The other thing I would be concerned about with any lawyer is them approving their friends. I’d like to hear from Nick that if a friend applied for Judgeship, he would exclude himself for the vote. I don’t know, maybe it’s just me.
