Hillsborough Commission battle: Blair, Beckner go at it on Flashpoint
September 12, 2008 at 5:22 pm by Wayne GarciaIn the highest profile one-on-one meeting in the campaign so far, incumbent Hillsborough County Commissioner Brian Blair and challenger Kevin Beckner have taped an appearance for Sunday’s Flashpoint with Brendan McLaughlin on ABC Action News Channel 28.
The interview gets real lively about halfway through when the topic turns to social issues. Blair, a conservative, has fought against gay pride and the anti-bullying “Day of Silence” in public schools, gets an earful from Beckner, who is preaching more tolerance and fiscal planning.
The show airs on Sunday at 11 a.m.
