Dan Valenti introduces the candidates at the PCTV studio on Thursday. The audio is below.
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Mayoral candidates James M. Ruberto and Daniel Bianchi traded jabs for an hour Thursday afternoon in live match on Pittsfield Community Television.
The meet was the idea of commentator and writer Dan Valenti, who wanted to take the candidates out of a structured forum for a face-to-face conversation as if they'd sat down together discuss the issues at Patrick's Pub.
With but a slight push from Valenti, incumbent Ruberto and challenger Bianchi traded blows over crime statistics, campaign smears and financial acuity.
We'll have more on the story later, but for now you can hear the conversation for yourself.
