League of Women Voters hosts debate
NOTE: For some reason our debate is the only video that has yet to be uploaded for online viewing. This debate was broadcast live on Time Warner and was a packed house. I have called Newsteamz and posted a note on their facebook fan page. They are nice enough to agree for me to use the footage for my documentary. But, where is our debate online?
