“Politician makes push for debate”

The Oakland Tribune offers this report, which begins: “Assemblyman Lloyd Levine has a plan to transform California’s apathetic masses into avid political consumers, or at least better informed ones. Levine, D-Van Nuys, is pushing a bill that would require not one, not two, but three general election debates between the two major candidates for governor. The bill, AB 970, which is scheduled for its first hearing later this month, would also create a debate commission that would tinker with various formats to generate greater interest. “
