Assuming he wins the primary, Deval Patrick has agreed to a televised debate with Lt. Governor Kerry Healey.
Follow us on TwitterThe debate, set for Monday, Sept. 25, will be the first post-primary gubernatorial debate. Healey and independent candidate Christy Mihos have already agreed to participate.
“We accept this debate invitation because we expect a significant portion of it will offer a serious discussion on the state’s economy, our competitiveness, people’s struggles to make ends meet, the recent history of net job losses from Massachusetts and real ways to create jobs,” said Patrick campaign spokesman Richard Chacon in a written statement.
Patrick, who won the endorsement of this month’s Democratic convention, faces businessman Chris Gabrieli and Attorney General Tom Reilly in the Sept. 19 Democratic primary. Grace Ross is the candidate of the Green-Rainbow Party.

Finally…what took him so long?
Should be interesting, he’ll get owned.
At least with Patrick, Healey can debate someone with ideas and who sticks to his principles. It would be a real debate, ie a discussion of the issues. Rather than a Dem (Reilly) trying to sound like a Republican because his poll tells him too.

Last year, it was a lawsuit charging that the City Council had
repeatedly violated the state’s Open Meeting Law by conducting
public business behind closed doors. The plaintiffs scored a
slam-dunk victory, with a Suffolk Superior Court judge lambasting
the council for its violations of the law. The same residents are
now back for more, filing suit last month alleging that the
council again violated the Open Meeting statute in its handling
of the pay raise it recently handed to itself, the mayor, and
other city officials.
