Bernero accepts debate proposal
On Monday, Sept. 27, Gubernatorial candidate and Lansing mayor Virg Bernero accepted an offer to participate in a debate from a large organization of Flint pastors, who had sent an official invitation to both Bernero and his opponent Rick Snyder.
The Concerned Pastors for Social Action invited the candidates to debate in Flint in the next several weeks. The Bernero campaign immediately accepted.
"Debates provide the public the opportunity to really get to know the candidates," said Bernero. "I welcome the opportunity to compare my economic plan and my record of creating jobs here against Mr. Snyder’s record of creating jobs in China. I am glad to accept the pastors’ offer for a debate."
The pastors said in their invitation that the debate would follow a town hall meeting format with moderators and focus on issues directly affecting Flint residents. The Concerned Pastors of Social Action reportedly represent dozens of congregations throughout the Flint area.
