Link to March 11 Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel article, "2 Pewaukee candidates to skip debate".Excerpt: Two candidates for aldermen in the April 6 election are refusing to participate in a Pewaukeeans for Better Government-sponsored debate next week, with one alleging the organization is biased and the other saying she's new to politics and prefers to meet informally with voters.
Candidate Kim Wentz said she is boycotting the debate because she believes the "PBG has lost sight of its original mission" and "morphed into Mayor (Scott) Klein's campaign attack dog."
PBG officials called Wentz's claims absurd, adding that the government watchdog group has never endorsed candidates, although its individual members have.
Although they won't be at the PBG debate, scheduled for 7 to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Pewaukee Public Library, Wentz and Brown said they will attend a Pewaukee Chamber of Commerce event for city and village candidates from 5 to 6:30 p.m. March 23 at the Radisson Hotel, N14-W24140 Tower Place.
