NEW YORK CITY-First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton and Representative Rick Lazio confronted one another in another debate in their campaigns for retiring Senator Patrick Moynihan’s seat. The candidates argued on a number of topics, from education to taxation. Each was asked to address the West Side stadium proposal.

“With respect to [Mayor] Giuliani sitting in the front row, I’m sorry I don’t support a domed arena for the West Side,” Clinton explains. She says she does not support using public money to build it. Giuliani smiled and nodded his apparent appreciation of her acknowledgement of his role in bringing this proposal to the fore.

Lazio, conversely, says that he supports the plan, noting he feels bringing the Jets and/or Giants back to New York is important. He says it is not “just a plan for a stadium,” suggesting that a stadium could serve as a focal point. He does say organizers would need to “get private money in there too.”
