Mr. Plusquellic, president of the conference, chided the assembled media, suggesting they were letting the presidential candidates get away with debating frivolous topics, such as hairstyles and neckties.
"When they start debating, we hope they're not talking about Iraq and Purple Hearts and what you did in the National Guard, but about cities," Mr. Plusquellic said.He said that Mr. Kerry and Mr. Bush should address housing, cleaning up former industrial sites, and paying for public safety and homeland security.
