Oct 26, 2016 12:04 am
Ariél Zangla reports in The Daily Freeman that Congressional candidates John Faso and Zephyr Teachout discussed their differences during an hour-long debate at the Woodstock Playhouse for Time Warner Cable News. Faso, a Republican from Columbia County, and Teachout, a Democrat from Dutchess County, agreed on cleaning up the water in Hoosick Falls and Petersburgh, and opposing the Trans-Pacific Partnership, they disagreed on much else. "Faso has repeatedly characterized Teachout as a carpetbagger whose ideas are unrealistic and out of touch with the 19th Congressional District, while Teachout has repeatedly characterized Faso as a career politician and lobbyist who is beholden to his campaign donors," Zangla wrote. The two candidates debate again at 7 p.m. Oct. 27 at Congregation Emanuel, 243 Albany Ave. in Kingston. Read the full story in The Daily Freeman.
