Lynch, Harsch to debate on WPRO this afternoon

EAST PROVIDENCE -- Attorney General Patrick Lynch and his Republican opponent, J. William W. Harsch, will face off this afternoon in a live radio debate likely to touch on The Station nightclub fire of 2003.

Democrat Lynch was criticized by some, including Harsch, for his handling of the prosecutions stemming from the state’s worst nightclub tragedy, especially that of club co-owners Michael and Jeffrey Derderian. Both recently pleaded no contest to manslaughter charges.

WPRO’s Dan Yorke will host the "no rules" debate, scheduled from 4:30 to 6 p.m.

The candidates are scheduled to debate twice more before the Nov. 7 election: Oct. 22 on television station WPRI (Channel 12), and Nov. 5 on television station WJAR (Channel 10).
