Wednesday, October 17, 2012 at 7:29 AM

(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) – You’ve probably seen countless television ads, mailers, and radio spots telling you who to vote for regarding state and federal elections.

But, when it comes to candidates for local offices such as judge, coroner, or county commissioner, the only thing most voters can tell you about the person is the color of their yard signs.

Eagle 99.3 wants to change that. We are once again partnering with the Dearborn County Chamber of Commerce to host a live, on-air debate among candidates for local offices.
