Akron Democratic Candidates Mayoral Debate

Two Democrats and one Republican are seeking to fill the leadership vacuum after decades of dominance by Akron's megawatt Mayor Don Plusquellic. The Dems debate today and we'll preview the issues live in Akron this morning at 9 on the Sound of Ideas. Why has the field dropped from six Dems to just two? Can a Republican win the general election in the heavily Democratic Rubber City? What do you think the new mayor will need to address first? Join us.
