But Krowe countered, “Our candidates are eager to debate in a
fair forum. e League of Women Voters runs fair debates in virtu-
ally every community in the county. ere is no reason they should
not be doing one in Yorktown. e League’s commitment to integ-
rity is re ected in its debate rules, which are designed to scrupu-
lously ensure that there is not even an appearance of impropriety.
It is recommended that debate moderators are not identi ed with
a political party, do not have any connection with the candidates in
the debate and are from another community.”

Esposito countered that point in a press release issued this week.
“ e Yorktown Chamber of Commerce stands rm in its belief
that public o cials and leaders should work with and not degrade
local organizations, businesses and citizens that support the com-
