Athol forum: Everyone but Bob

Eight election races will be represented at a state legislative and local candidate forum to be held Oct. 12 at the Athol Community Center. The forum in Athol, hosted by the Cedar Mountain Association, will begin at 7 p.m and will last about 2.5 hours, according the event’s director, Debra Rose. … Among the speakers will be Republican Ben Wolfinger and Democrat Tina Kunishige of the sheriff’s race; Russell McLain of the District 3 Commissioner’s race; Chris Fillios of the District 2 commissioners race; Republican Vito Barbieri and Democrat Kathy Kahn of the District 2 Legislative House seat A race; Republican Eric Redman and Democrat Richard Kohles of District 2 Legislative House seat B race; Todd Banducci and Greg Gfeller of the NIC Trustee Zone 3 race; Judith Meyer of the NIC Trustee Zone 4 race and Brad Murray of the NIC Trustee Zone 6 race. Republican Bob Bingham, running for a District 3 commissioners seat, was the lone candidate to not respond to the forum’s invite/ Coeur d’Alene Press . More here.

Question: It seems to me that Bob Bingham is causing himself more harm than good by ignoring the Athol forum. Thoughts?
