Deemie, Balles and Meaney have agreed to talk about some of the issues facing the village during a live broadcast of WNBF Radio's Binghamton Now program. The segment is scheduled for Wednesday at 10:10 a.m.

The primary election will be held on Tuesday, September 12. The winner will be the Republican candidate who will face village planning board vice chairman Andrew Holbert, a Democrat, in the November 7 general election.

This story has been updated to show Holbert is the planning board vice chairman, not the chairman.
