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.
