My understanding is Mick Staton has refused to accept the League of Women Voters. He would not do it and I think, because he has been criticized so much, he's trying to find some other mechanism to make it look like there is a debate.
If this is the only opportunity that the candidates will have to debate one another, it needs to be in a setting that is open to the public. I don't understand why Mick has refused to accept the League of Woman's Voters debate.
