Editor's note: To clarify, Trustee Robin Meier voted to hire a company to demolish village-owned buildings on Lake Street in 2018. Trustee Dawn Abernathy opposed that contract.
Mundelein's four mayoral candidates discussed the town's infrastructure needs and other issues in an online forum Wednesday night.
Some also traded barbs during the session, which was moderated by Mundelein High School students and lasted more than an hour.
Incumbent Steve Lentz is seeking a third term as the village's top elected official. He's being challenged by village Trustees Dawn Abernathy and Robin Meier and Mundelein High School board member Tom Ouimet.
