Mayoral candidates debate in Yonkers

YONKERS, N.Y.

Three candidates battled it out in an effort to be the next mayor of Westchester County's largest city.

Republican John Murtagh and Independent Carlo Calvi said they support more charter schools, while Democrat Mike Spano disagreed.

The debate was sponsored by Yonkers Partners in Education.
