Perdue to skip UNC debate

Beverly Perdue will skip a debate on UNC-TV Wednesday.

The public television channel had invited the Democratic gubernatorial candidate as well as Republican Pat McCrory and Libertarian Mike Munger. Perdue declined.

Perdue and McCrory have already debated four times and will meet for one more sponsored by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg League of Women Voters on Oct. 15.

Munger is also invited to that event, but he has not been asked to previous debates. 

McCrory and Munger will appear, however. The moderator will be Eszter Vajda, co-host of UNC-TV's Legislative Week in Review.

The debate will be broadcast live on UNC-TV at 8 p.m. 

Lt. governor candidates to debate

Three candidates for lieutenant governor will debate tonight.

Democrat Walter Dalton, Republican Robert Pittenger and Libertarian Phillip Rhodes will participate in the debate, which is sponsored by UNC-TV.

The debate will be moderated by Eszter Vajda, co-host of UNC-TV's "Legislative Week in Review." 

It will be broadcast live at 8 p.m.
