Scheduling demands that commercial developer Steve Soborroff and State Controller Kathleen Connell share the spotlight today. Next week we'll feature the other four leading candidates and zero in on races for city council, school board, city attorney and city controller as well as the race to replace the late Congressman Julian Dixon. (Kyle McKinnon guest hosts.)
