The Great Mayoral Debate, Part 2

If you missed Wednesday night’s debate between Republican incumbent Greg Ballard and Democratic challenger Melina Kennedy, that’s okay.   I was there and recorded the whole thing.  It’s embedded in our sister blog IndyPolitics.Org.

The debate runs about an hour.

It was  organized by  the Binford Redevelopment and Growth, Broad Ripple Village Association, Butler-Tarkington Neighborhood Association, Harmoni, Meridian-Kessler Neighborhood Association, and Butler University. It was sponsored by AARP Indiana and moderated by John Ketzenberger, president of the Indiana Fiscal Policy Institute.

The topics included the usual areas: crime, economic development, infrastructure and there was even a question about a street car.

Overall, Kennedy won on style, Ballard on substance.
