| Description | The health care reform debate continued to heat up as Chapel Hill lawyer Kenneth Lewis, a potential Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate, challenged Republican U.S. Sen. Richard Burr to a debate.
“A review of your public schedule for the week shows luncheons and plant visits, but no opportunity for North Carolinians to engage you in a debate on health care reform,” Lewis said in a letter sent to Burr on Thursday. “While some of your peers have expressed fear of such town hall meetings, this is no time to shrink away from public debate.”
Burr spent Friday at Research Triangle Park, after making stops at the East Carolina Heart Institute at Pitt County Memorial Hospital in Greenville on Thursday and a National Health Week banquet in Ahoskie on Tuesday.
Burr rose to the challenge, but invited other potential Democratic opponents, too. |
