Editor’s note: You can sign up to atttend Central Current’s Democratic mayoral forum here. It’s been a month since I joined The Central Current and began writing columns again in Syracuse, for the first time in a decade. One of the immediate delights of coming back was learning The Current will host a debate at 6 p.m. tonight for the three Democratic candidates for mayor, as part of the buildup to next month’s primary.
