A2: Gubernatorial Debates

Democratic Virg Bernero announced that he’ll show up for an Oct. 21 gubernatorial debate, even if GOP candidate Rick Snyder doesn’t, according to a Detroit News article: “Bernero announced he accepted an offer to attend the debate in Detroit on WXYZ-TV (Ch. 7) after Snyder ended negotiations Friday. … The Ann Arbor business mogul will not participate, Snyder spokesman Bill Nowling said this morning. ‘We’ve ended the negotiation on debates. We had a fair offer on the table they walked away from. For him to now come and start agreeing to debates after the fact seems a bit disingenuous.’” [Source]
