Candidates’ debate gets lively
Public access TV show today
By Lisa D. Welsh TELEGRAM & GAZETTE STAFF
District 5 Councilor Frederick C. Rushton, who is running for city councilor at-large and for mayor, and Mayor and City Councilor-at-large Konstantina B. Lukes had arranged to leave the forum early, but it might have appeared that their sparring was the reason for their departure.
After defining the mayor’s job as a mostly ceremonial position, Mrs. Lukes said she did not seek endorsements.
Mr. Rushton pointed out that Mrs. Lukes has appeared at AFL-CIO events and sought the union’s endorsement. “Say what you mean, and do what you say,” he said.
The two then traded comments, talking loudly over each other, before the moderator regained control and gave Mrs. Lukes 10 seconds to respond. “As mayor, I make appearances, but I do not seek endorsements, although I do occasionally receive them,” she said.
Mr. Rushton left the forum a few moments later, and Mrs. Lukes left soon afterward.
