If Zack Matheny raised $46,358.46 from contributors in 2007 while serving on the zoning commission, and then voted for related zoning requests as a councilman less than 12 months later, why didn’t he recuse himself, and why did he refuse to debate his opponents in 2009?


Matheny won't join District 3 debate


 


Sitting Councilman Zack Matheny will not take challenger George Hartzman up on his request to have a District 3 debate.


 


Jay Ovittore, the third candidate for the district, agreed to the debate.
