Hosmer & Youssef highlight the gaps between them By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The dramatic differences between Democratic Senate District 7 candidate Andrew Hosmer and Republican candidate Joshua Youssef played out last night during their second and final debate before a crowd of about 75 at New Hampshirie’s Historic Meeting House —
the Belkap Mill. The dabate was hosted by The Daily Sun and moderated by editor and president Ed Engler. Each man spent the 90 minutes trying to label the other, with Hosmer calling Youssef an “ideologue” while Youssef painted Hosmer in the tax-and-spend corner — even when they both agreed on
something. Both agreed that education is important, sick people need hospitals, and Lakes Region Community Services provides a necessary and efficient service for people with developmental disabilities. Where they disagree is how to pay for the services. see SENaTE 7 page 15
