A candidate forum in the race for Westchester District Attorney will not take place after Democrat Susan Cacace said she would not participate, the League of Women Voters announced Tuesday.

“This is a lost opportunity for the public to hear directly from candidates in person and to address their own questions to them,” Westchester County League President Kathy Meany said in announcing the cancellation. “We strive to run forums in a respectful, non-partisan environment that encourages civil discourse and allows candidates to communicate with the people they are seeking to represent. It is a disappointment that there will be no such opportunity for voters residing in Westchester County."
Cacace's decision was assailed by Republican candidate John Sarcone, who accused Cacace of "hiding" from voters. MORE AT Susan Cacace pulls out of forum in Westchester District Attorney race (archive.ph)
