Governor’s Debate — Wilmington Neighborhood Issues

The latest Democratic Governor’s debate was held this morning at the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Wilmington. It was hosted by the Interfaith Coalition Building Blocks for Wilmington.

Mike Protack was wandering around and I thought that this was one of the debates that would include him, but I was mistaken.
