Crime, infrastructure, and pre-K for three-year-olds were all topics of discussion for the mayoral debate between incumbent Democrat Joe Hogsett and Republican challenger Jim Merritt.
The event was sponsored by the Indy Chamber and Indianapolis Business Journal.
As expected the two candidates differed on crime, roads and whether the city should only tie incentives to a business if they pay workers at least $15 an hour.
You can hear the two candidates in the Leon-Tailored Audio above.
