San Diego's mayoral candidates participated in a frank discussion about the issues affecting voters during Wednesday's live NBC 7 debate.
The one-hour debate between Councilman Carl DeMaio and U.S. Rep. Bob Filner addressed the candidates' specific funding plans and brough up some of the lingering issues going into next month's general election.
