WHAT'S HAPPENING AT "PACE" BEFORE THE ELECTION?

We understand that Salisbury University’s Institute for Public Affairs and Civic Engagement (PACE) is not planning to sponsor any candidate debates, with the possible exception of a Harris-Kratovil face-off, before the general election. In past years PACE has done or assisted in major televised (on PAC14) events involving the Wicomico County Executive and other local races. What gives?

So far we are not aware of any upcoming public events with local candidates -- broadcast or otherwise -- by any group, including the League of Women Voters, Greater Salisbury Committee, etc. Before the primary the local Chamber of Commerce did luncheon discussions with local candidates that were not well attended due to the time and location.
