Sense of Urgency: Aldermen to interview 3rd Ward candidates this week.

Three contractors - a black guy, a Mexican, and a good ol' boy - are bidding to fix a broken fence at the Bicentennial Mall. They go together with an official to examine the fence.

The black contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works up some figures.
