Will any of these be televised by any chance?

I don't think any of them will be televised. PBS at one time thought it had a civic responsibility to inform people, but no longer.

aren't you forgetting the mayoral debate at the sate for the mayor of the county seat. I realize Panto is a shoe-in against this guy but it will be intersting to see if his opponent throws a tantrum like he used to do at the county's 9-1-1 task force meetings, or when he demoted himself from a Lt. in the fire dept. to a regular firefighter becasue he couldn't handle the stress. He is a mouth, all talk no action. Has not done a thing to make the city better.
