Troy Mayoral Candidates to debate

Conroy: "Harry Tutunjian Must be Getting Nervous That the People of Troy Are Seeing Through His Arrogance"


(TROY, N.Y.) After more than two months and scores of spurned requests, Harry Tutunjian has finally agreed to debate the issues facing the City of Troy in a public forum.

The debate, sponsored by the League of Women Voters, will be held on October 16th at 7:00 pm at the Commission of Economic Opportunity, 2331 Fifth Avenue in Troy.

"Harry Tutunjian has dodged repeated requests to debate the issues facing Troy. Deadlines have come and gone and opportunities have been missed," said Jim Conroy, candidate for Troy Mayor. "He obviously wanted to avoid a forum where he has to answer tough questions about his administration. It's another example of poor leadership. Troy deserves better."

The October 16 debate is still the only debate that Tutunjian has agreed to despite repeated attempts by several organizations to sponsor more conversations with the Troy mayoral candidates. It also comes more than two months since Conroy first requested a debate on August 15.

"I always welcome the opportunity to talk about the future of the City of Troy with Harry Tutunjian. Anywhere. Anytime. I think our neighbors deserve it" said Conroy.
