What's that you say, Mrs. Robinson? Going to the candidates debate...

Laugh about it, shout about it, when you've got to choose...

Well, to help you with that choice; The League of Women Voters - Amity, the Beecher PTO and The Bulletin co-sponsored the usual candidates debate at Beecher Road School last night. The audience was a bit smaller than in past election years, but with a crucial Board of Finance meeting going on across town at the same time, it was hard for residents to know where more action would be taking place!

Democrats Tom Handler (candidate for Woodbridge Board of Ed, pictured at right) and Ed Sheehy (candidate for First Selectman, pictured below) were outstanding as they represented the team to answer questions focused on goals for education, how to balance school funding with other fiscal responsibilities and the need to keep taxes down so seniors and others of limited means can continue to afford to live in town.

There were also questions about the towns' Government Access TV channel and the mediation process now mandated by the DPUC (read more on the Gov-TV blog).

Speaking of Gov-TV -- the debate was recorded by the League of Women Voters and will be in heavy rotation, playing daily along with other town meetings on Cablevision Channel 79 by next week.

Look for it there!
