Just a heads-up that I'll be doing a comprehensive post shortly about the Chamber of Commerce debate this afternoon between mayoral candidates Joe Mallahan and Mike McGinn. My (short) take: The debate, which focused on how the next mayor will make the city a business-friendly environment, was pretty lackluster. McGinn came across as well-informed but far to the left of the business-leader-heavy crowd, and Mallahan came across as business-friendly but ill-informed about issues surrounding development such as community benefits districts and incentive zoning.
Full report in less than an hour.
