Dean In, Clement So Five Minutes Ago

Posted by Mary Mancini on August 20, 2007 under Uncategorized |

According to a press release from The Nashville Homeless Power Project, both Bob Clement and Karl Dean were invited to attend this morning’s Mayoral Candidates Debate. When originally invited by The Project on August 6, “both campaign offices indicated that their candidate had nothing scheduled” August 20 at 11 am and said they “would confirm as soon as possible.” Dean’s office called the next day to confirm. Clement’s office called on August 14 to decline.

So this morning, at 11:00 am, at the Holy Name Church (enter at Main Street parking lot between 5th & 6th in East Nashville) this very important forum will go forward with only one candidate publicly available to respond to the questions regarding Metro Police’s handling of the downtown homeless issue, low-cost housing, health care, and food security.

According to the calendar on his website, this month Bob Clement spoke to the Girl Scouts, the retired teamsters, the unions, the Masons, and the born again Christians, to name just a few. He’s a busy man. Except for today. Today there is a glaringly empty box on his calendar.

    [...] The folks at Liberadio(!) are questioning why Bob Clement will be a no show at a Nashville Homeless Power Project forum when he has no scheduled events on his online calender.

    If Liberadio is upset, Bob must be doin’ OK.
