Minneapolis, MN (IBNN NEWS/Political Opinion/February 1, 2012)… “All I can say is oh crap!” The Senate District 58 debate held on Tuesday night was a disgusting show of political favoritism fueled by a corrupt process that silences the voice of the community.

The minute you walk through the door and debate coordinators tell you that no “verbal” questions may be asked of the candidates and point persons want to “write down your question,” you know this will be a one-sided debate from the start.

The “write down your questions” is a “protection” mechanism for State Representative Champion. If the audience were allowed to ask direct questions to Rep. Champion, the whole district would see just what the representative has not done.

This was the seen last night at Fowell Park in north Minneapolis where a hand-full of concerned community members gathered to hear candidates Troy Parker and State Representative Bobby “Nicollet Mall” Champion talk about the issues. This one-sided, bias mess of favoritism reeked of collusion corruption with no fair questions and answers that could gauge the ongoing competence of Rep. Champion, nor see the up and coming rise of candidate Troy Parker.
