Just a short note this time as I work on my position paper, which I should be posting later this weekend: I had hoped to debate my opponent, the incumbent, in a forum sponsored by the League of Women Voters. However, after nearly a week of not returning my phone calls the League has finally told me that they will not hold a debate on the board seat I'm contesting. As this is the first contested seat in eight years, this stance is unbelievable and frankly indefensible.
I had always grouped the League of Women Voters as one of the good players in American politics. Having the Mendocino chapter of the League ignore its responsibilities in this manner leaves me surprised, disappointed and a bit angry. I try not to be cynical, but it's painful to have a bubble burst like that.
