Waukesha - A planned forum next week for Waukesha mayoral candidates at Carroll University will now feature just one of the two contenders - incumbent Larry Nelson.
Student Senate President Ashley Frazier said miscommunication occurred between challenger Jeff Scrima and a student contact, and he said he couldn't make the March 30 date. Frazier said an alternative arrangement for a March 29 date was proposed to both candidates last weekend, and the campus center ballroom reserved. Scrima notified the organization Thursday that he couldn't make that date either, she said.
Because the election is the following week, April 6, the forum will proceed with Nelson beginning at 6:30 p.m. Monday.
Questions will be asked by the Student Senate and cover the Waukesha west bypass, the Lake Michigan water diversion application, recycling, relationship with the Carroll University community and other issues. Audience members will have a chance to submit questions as well.
The candidates squared off in two earlier forums this week.
Because of the changed format, Frazier said, the Student Senate is the only sponsor of the forum.
