Issues, you want issues?

If you haven't made up your mind yet about who your pick for mayor is - and if you haven't, there are apparently a lot of you out there still - today's Currents section in the Sunday Inquirer is the mother load of information about what the candidates think and promise to to do.

Over the last week, we've asked the five candidates to respond to seven issues questions that built upon what we heard and learned at Great Expectations forums this year.

In today's Currents, they all respond to a question about the underdiscussed X-factor - leadership. You'll also see excerpts of the five candidates' answers to the other issues questions posed during the week on the Inquirer commentary page - on ethics and corruption, zoning and planning, gentrification, violent crime and ending the brain drain. A question on the public schools will be answered tomorrow.

The full answers to all the questions are available on the G.E. Web site, too.
