Hanna Debate Controversy

Meanwhile Congressman Richard Hanna's Democratic opponent Dan Lamb is accusing the Congressman of threatening to pull advertising dollars from a Utica television station if it televised a debate that Hanna had refused to be part of.
   
However, Hanna's campaign denies the allegations. The General Manager of the Utica television station that pulled out of televising the debate says Lamb's campaign took an e-mail he sent them out of context and that ad dollars played no part in his station deciding not to televise the debate.
