WEARE--State Sen. Harold Janeway (D-Webster) and Andy Sanborn (R-Henniker) participated in their only debate on Weare public television.
In the debate the projected budget deficit and the tax pledge took center stage.
Sanborn said that he does not favor an income or sales tax, while Janeway said that he has not taken the "no tax" pledge because he wants an "open and honest" debate about the budget.
When asked if by refusing to sign the pledge Janeway favors an income tax, Janeway said, "It does not mean I favor an income tax."
