Green Will Not Attend S.I. Debate
September 21st, 2009

Green campaign spokesperson Anne Strahle just got back to us on whether former public advocate Mark Green will attend the first public advocate outer borough debate tomorrow — the first in a series of debates proposed by councilmember and public advocate candidate Bill De Blasio.

The answer is no.

Strahle said the Green campaign just found out about the debate this afternoon, and the de Blasio camp “never included us in deciding when, where or the subject for the debates.”

The Green campaign also released this statement: “Since when is Bill de Blasio a unilateral Campaign Finance Board dictating time, location and topics for debate? A pitcher doesn’t get to call balls and strikes. We’ll talk about more debates if they’re open-ended and before unbiased audiences so that reporters, for example, can ask about women’s issues and de Blasio’s ethics problems.”

The two candidates will officially meet for a Campaign Finance Board debate at NY1 on Wednesday at 7 p.m.
