[Green] Another League of Women Voters statement relevant to our forum

[Nancy Novak]

The way the League of Women Voters deals with it in Wood County is to 
allow the candidate to read his/her statement or to give his/her 
qualifications for office.  As we understand it, that is not a debate.  
Afterwards we have a meet/greet session where they can say whatever they 
wish to whomever they wish.  We do _not allow representatives_ of the 
candidate to read statements, but we introduce them during the debate.  
This applies to all candidates, not just national ones.
