Detroit's mayoral candidates gather in heated forum ahead of election

DETROIT (FOX 2) - The Detroit mayoral election is heating up as two panels of candidates faced off in a forum at Wayne County Community College District's Northwest Campus on Thursday night.

FOX 2 was there during the event, when Moderator Charlie Leduff went into the crowd to calm things down in an evening that saw former Detroit Police Chief James Craig, businessman John Barlow, city councilmember Fred Durhal and business owner Joel Haashiim tearing it up over education and whose children go to private versus public schools.

And that was only the first panel.

The second panel had Detroit City Council President Mary Sheffield, Attorney Todd Perkins, THAW CEO Saunteel Jenkins, and previous candidate DaNetta Simpson battling over the Detroit Land Bank.
