Re: Derby Mayoral Debates

Mr. Joseph Bomba,

I write to you schedule debates between your Republican mayoral nomination,

Anthony Staffieri and our Democratic mayoral nominee, Daniel Foley. Public debating
will give the voters of the City of Derby a great opportunity to compare and contrast
these two very different candidates. Derby voters deserve nothing less than this most
honest view of our respective candidates. I would like to propose that we schedule
three debates between them. One to be hosted by TeleMedia, one in open public forum
on the Derby Green and another that allows candidates to question each other, to be
moderated by someone we can agree upon through further communication. Please let
me know if your Republican party will accept this challenge. I can be reached by email
at srizzitelli@snet.net or by mail at 26 Prindle Avenue, Derby, Connecticut.

Sincerely,

Sam Rizzitelli
Chairman, Derby Democratic Town
Committee
