It didn’t take long for the gloves to come off Tuesday. In his opening statement, Levinson called Freeman-Daniels’ position that he would sit on the board of the Three-County Fairgrounds Redevelopment Corp. a conflict of interest.
Levinson also said his opponent had not taken the time to meet with farmers in the Meadows to hear their concerns surrounding intrusion on private property by the public.
Later in the debate, Freeman-Daniels called Levinson’s assertion inaccurate. He said he would like the Meadows section to be more open and accessible, while Levinson called for respect for private property.
