WCTV to host Selectmen debate

Mar 13, 2012

Wareham Community Television (WCTV) will host its first ever Board of Selectmen candidate debates on Thursday, March 29, and Friday, March 30, at 7 p.m. both evenings.

Candidates for the three-year Selectmen seat -- Bruce Sauvageau, Alan Slavin, and David Smith -- will be in the hot seats on Thursday.

Candidates seeking the two-year Selectmen seat -- Amit Johar, Peter Teitelbaum, and Patrick Tropeano -- will debate on Friday.

The debate will air live on WCTV's Public Channel -- Comcast channel 9 and Verizon channel 30.

"We're doing it as a public service for the community," said WCTV Executive Director Jay Heard. "We want to give the community as much information about candidates as possible because we feel it's important."

The debate will be moderated by Heard and will feature questions from a panel of local journalists from The Standard-Times, The Wareham Courier, and Wareham Week.
