Mike Munger to debate McCrory on UNC-TV

Dr. Michael Munger, the Libertarian candidate for governor, will participate in his first televised gubernatorial debate to be held this Wednesday evening at 8pm on UNC-TV. While Perdue has apparently declined to participate, McCrory has accepted the challenge.

This will be the first time ever that a Libertarian candidate for Governor of NC has participated in a televised debate for the general election, so make plans to watch. What to expect? Here's a sample of what Mike Munger had to say in response to last week's debate on education:

Competition and school choice will be the central premise of the Munger Administration's education policy, to give parents more control over their children's education. I would streamline and simplify the accreditation process, lift the cap on charter schools, and foster the growth of charter schools, religious or theme schools, or any other kind of innovative educational program that can attract the children of parents who want to exercise their choices as parents.

An article on Munger's response to the education debate is available on LPNC.org.
