6th Ward Candidates Discuss Tax Increment Financing

Candidates Mark Walsten (incumbent) and Richard Hissong answer how they would assess the city's TIF programs.

Des Plaines Patch is revisiting the alderman debates that took place last week at City Hall, in case you missed them. Listen to the candidates in their own words. We are dividing video segments by ward. Patch will be posting candidate video for the rest of the week.

Unfortunately candidate Mario Palacios was unable to attend the debate.

The debate was presided over by Illinois State Sen. Susan Garret, who acted as mediator. The questions were taken from the audience.
