The Candidates Forum that Wasn't: A disservice to Warren's residents
Read how the incumbents believe that reluctance to participate in a Candidates Forum is based upon the premise that such a Forum would be likely to drive a wedge between the candidates and foster bitterness. Their campaign manager alleges they are constantly available to residents yet they are not responding to residents calls and emails. The real facts are both incumbents chose not to respond to emails and phone calls since October 14th about participating in a neutral Candidates Forum hosted by the League of Women Voters. What are they hiding from?

Openness and Transparency might have helped on East County Park, Cell Towers & Affordable Housing Issues: The Importance of a Candidates Forum
Messrs. Lazo and Marion failed to respond to requests from two weeks ago to participate in a Candidates Forum moderated by the League of Women Voters. Neighboring towns have held a Candidates Forum where residents have the opportunity to learn more about the candidates and the issues. The residents of Warren deserve to be able to "size up" the candidates individually and independently, not as a slate behind the other members of the Township Committee! de Pinho said that its easy to "talk the talk" but not "walk the walk." The League of Women Voters offered to hold open the availability of a moderator and de Pinho remains hopeful and willing to participate in a Candidates Forum.
