The winner of the upcoming City election may not be known until November 5th, but people might be able to find out which Ward Six candidate is the strongest on Saturday November 2nd.
Steven Conn, who has been trying to coordinate a proper debate with incumbent Alderman Kenny Kirby, threw down a gauntlet of sorts this morning with an alternative. Conn has requested a debate with Kirby for several months without any response from his opponent.
Absent a debate on the issues, Conn has challenged the Kirby camp to a tug match in the annual Maritime Republic of Eastport Tug-O-War.
No word yet on a response from the Kirby campaign.
