R.I. candidates speak at forum

Casino Rock Island moving from downtown and what to do with the riverfront Armory building were among the issues tackled Wednesday by Rock Island's mayoral and aldermanic candidates.

The candidates took part in a forum at the Rock Island Public Library, hosted by the Community Caring Conference. Up for grabs in the April 5 election are four-year terms as mayor and 1st Ward, 3rd Ward, 5th Ward and 7th Ward alderman.
