Hear from the candidates
Former Managing Director Phil Goldsmith reprises his role as leadership guru in today's Metro, taking a look at what the next mayor needs to do to provide the right stuff for the city to move forward.
With the city losing control over services including the school district and Parking Authority, Goldsmith says the next mayor is responsible for influencing decisions, a skill born of leadership.
Also, make sure to check out where all of the candidates stand on what they'd bring to City Hall and how they would deal with keeping their deputies and workers accountable.
And, maybe most importantly, how they'd deal with negotiations with the unions on the upcoming contracts that threaten to have a drastic effect on the city budget because of skyrocketing pension and healthcare costs.
