Incumbent First Selectman Janet McCarty and her challenger Michael Freda were seated  in front of an audience of several dozen in a conference room for a debate hosted by the Quinnipiac Chamber of Commerce this morning.

Every year for 17 years the Quinnipiac Chamber of Commerce Business Expo has grown both by numbers of participating businesses and number of attendees. Wednesday's event was no exception.
