Berny Stone and His Cowardly Lyin'
The staff and volunteers of the Naisy Dolar campaign wish to thank the members of the West Rogers Park Yahoo! group and especially to Greg Brewer and other residents for asking the tough questions of the Stone campaign regarding the "debate" scheduled for the 12th.
As most of you know, we are only 7 days away from election, and Berny Stone still has yet to fulfill his promise to debate Naisy. Instead, he’s trying to set up a bogus debate done in the most cowardly way.
Back in February, Berny Stone told the Chicago Reader that he would debate his opponents one-on-one, and this was reiterated in a WBEZ-FM story later. He has since had two opportunities to appear at a debate: 1) the West Rogers Park Community Organization's Candidates’ Forum on March 11; and 2) on WTTW Chicago Tonight, PBS Channel 11, on April 2. He failed to appear at the first, and backed out of the latter.
Now, Berny Stone is trying to set up a one-sided, "pseudo" debate for April 12, only FIVE days before the election --a time when local community papers cannot even cover it because of their deadline. In addition, a member of his campaign team, Michael Moses, contacted our office several weeks ago to set up this debate, claiming it was sponsored by three different organizations.
