Springfield’s two candidates for mayor, Jim Langfelder and Paul Palazzolo, squared off Thursday night at a mayoral debate held at the Illinois Association of REALTORS® (IAR) headquarters. During the 90-minute debate, Langfelder and Palazzolo answered questions on everything from boosting future business growth to attracting more people to the city’s downtown. Voters will choose between the two candidates in the April 7 election.
