Trail refuses to debate Solomon

(Moscow)	Incumbent State Rep. Tom Trail (R) has refused an 
invitation from challenger Mark Solomon (D) to participate in a 
series of debates. Citing their common appearance before several 
groups in all-candidate forums, Trail says he believes the public 
will have enough information to make their election decisions and a 
direct discussion with Solomon on issues important to the District is 
superfluous.

The Solomon campaign issued the invitation to debate to offer voters 
of the county an opportunity to participate in a more intensive 
discussion of the difference between the two candidate's views than 
can normally be found at the usual multi-candidate forums. Solomon 
proposed three debates: one for rural county voters, one for Moscow 
voters and one for University voters.

"If Tom Trail won't debate at home with a respected local Democrat, 
how can we expect him to stand up to the ultra-conservative members 
and leaders of his own party in Boise?" said Mark Solomon, Trail's 
opponent in the District 6A race. "I'm proud of my record and proud 
of my stands on issues that effect our District's economy, education 
opportunities and environment and am not afraid to discuss them with 
anyone, anywhere, anytime."
