The Perkins Township debate, held an hour later and attended by roughly half as many people, produced a similar range of interest. The top-viewed Perkins clip, “Flooding Issues in the Township,” reached 381 views.
“We have the tremendous flooding problems in certain areas of the township that need to be rectified,” challenger Lisa Crescimao said. “I think in order to do that we need to work with the Erie County Engineer’s office, the Erie County Soil and Water and work with the residents and listen to the residents.”
