Letter to the Editor: Candidates need to meet and talk issues

There’s been a lot of talk about Jeff Dotseth’s domestic abuse and animal abuse.

But I’m wondering why he won’t debate his opponent, Pete Radosevich. I called Pete to ask him when the usual candidate forum was scheduled. He said Dotseth won’t participate in a live forum, even when they tried to schedule one in Moose Lake.

Why won’t Dotseth debate? It’s not hard to guess. Dotseth has been ineffective as a legislator and can’t hold a torch against Radosevich, in my opinion. Pete’s willing to debate. He’s open and transparent. Pete gets my vote.

Editor’s note: The Cloquet Chamber is not holding its usual face-to-face candidate forum this year. Instead it will be taping “meet the candidate” interviews and posting those online and on CAT-7. See Page 3 Knot Notes.
