The League of Women Voters of Westchester County issued a statement on Tuesday expressing disappointment that its proposed Oct. 24 candidates’ forum for district attorney has been canceled, because the Democratic candidate, retired County Court Judge Susan Cacace, declined its invite.

The Republican candidate, Croton-on-Hudson attorney John Sarcone, who has previously run unsuccessfully for state Attorney General and state Supreme Court, blasted Cacace for “going into hiding.”
