Nev. gov candidates hold mini-debate

An impromptu debate broke out Wednesday between Nevada’s top candidates for governor when Democrat Rory Reid invited Republican Brian Sandoval to share the lectern for questions from an audience of contractors.

They took three questions, with the state’s dismal last-in-the-nation ranking in education the first issue raised from a Nevada Subcontractors Association audience of about 150 at a casino-hotel in Las Vegas.
