What has Turner so scared?
How scared is Mike Turner? It seems that Congressman Mike Turner refused a live debate against Jane Mitakides - the key factor in his decision? He wouldn't be allowed to use a briefing book.
Turner declined the WHIO question-and-answer style debate - which wouldn't include the use of notes - something high school debaters are quite used to (Seriously, Congressman, high schoolers). Presumably, the questions would relate to the 3rd district, and current events, something Turner should (hopefully) know.
Turner is a representative of the people of OH-3, and it is less than comforting that he is unable to publically discuss relevant issues without assistance. Of course, this is the man whose district includes DHL, yet he accepted $30,000 from UPS. It also includes Wright-Patt, but Turner voted against the GI bill, and voted against veterans 70% of the time. And in his 6 years in office, has only introduced and passed 1 piece of legislation - he renamed a park.
Perhaps this explains his reluctance to debate. Perhaps Mr. Turner is out of touch with the citizens of OH-3. Perhaps it is time someone truly represented OH-3 in the House of Representatives.
