League of Women Voters of the Pensacola Bay Area

Gubernatorial Debate 2010

What ought to be called “The Good Government Coalition” — the League of Women Voters of Florida and Florida Public Broadcasting Stations, including both TV and radio — has announced a gubernatorial debate on Thursday, Oct. 14.

Florida Public Broadcasting Stations and the League of Women Voters of Florida plan to present an Historic Gubernatorial Debate Focused on Healthcare.

The “exclusive sponsor” is the Florida Hospital Association, which will host the event during its annual convention at the Rosen Shingle Creek Resort in Orlando. That will likely mean a bunch of questions about health care policy, including Medicaid and the state’s challenge (filed by Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum, ) to President Barack Obama’s health-care reform plan.

The GGC is also promising a debate among the U.S. Senate candidates, but no date, site or format has been selected.
