Debate in Elyria City Mayoral Race Faces Key Absence
Elyria residents are offered a mayoral debate between Michael Keys and Shirley Guinta on October 19 organized by the Lorain County Chamber of Commerce. Keys plans to participate while Guinta, retired from Elyria schools and teaching part time at Elyria Catholic, says the time is not convenient. The debate would cover four to six issues including budget, development, safety and planning at a neutral Elyria location. Guinta questions the value of repeating already covered topics and has not confirmed attendance.
