The first deals with the fact that Youngstown John Boccieri walks away from a debate when he's been screaming for one. The two candidates have agreed on some debates and the details for all of that can be found in this Canton Repository piece.
The second is this Times-Gazette piece and what is so interesting about it is that points out Boccieri is from Youngstown, doesn't live in the district, and also reports that only ten people showed up at the event in question. I can't resist this quote:
"We're enjoying our time with some great people here in Ashland County," Boccieri said. "I'm really pleased. These people are just down to earth and they want a representative they can see, feel and touch and hear from. And that's the kind of legislator I want to be."Yeah, John, real people are "just down to earth" like that all the time... Could Youngstown John be any more out of touch with the 16th District?
