Ithaca College

The student television and radio stations at Ithaca College will be hosting a debate between the three Democratic candidates in the race for the City of Ithaca Mayor.

 J.R. Clairborne (Councilman, City of Ithaca Second Ward), Pam Mackesey (Tompkins County Legislator, 1st District), and Svante Myrick (Councilman, City of Ithaca, Fourth Ward) will be participating in the hour-long debate, and will discuss a variety of issues including taxes, the environment and small business.
