Welcome to the Bluegrass Politics Debate. Each Wednesday and Thursday through the end of September, the candidates for Kentucky's 6th Congressional District seat U.S. Rep. Ben Chandler, D-Versailles, and Republican lawyer Andy Barr of Lexington will debate a topic chosen by the Lexington Herald-Leader.
The candidates ask and answer the questions. Questions are limited to 35 words. Answers, which will be posted online by 6 p.m. on Wednesdays, are limited to 75 words. Rebuttals, which will be posted online by 6 p.m. on Thursdays, are limited to 35 words.
The entire debate will appear in the Sunday City|Region section of the Herald-Leader, as space allows.
Week 2 topic: H.R. 1586, the Education Jobs and Medicaid Assistance Act
Barr's question for Chandler: With the $862 billion stimulus a clear failure, and this $26 billion bailout of state governments not expected to create a single private sector job, how many more bailouts will you support?
