Another forum Saturday

Here's another Commissioner candidate forum. There's no excuse for not going to one of these at some point. The election is a week from Tuesday!

Here is your opportunity to meet the candidates for County Commissioner, ask questions, learn about the issues facing Orange County and weigh your choices.

The Orange County Democratic Party, along with the NAACP and Young Democrats organizations, is sponsoring a County Commissioner Candidates Forum Saturday, April 22, at the Southern Orange Human Services Center, 2501 Homestead Rd., in Chapel Hill. Doors open at 3:00 p.m. for informal interaction; the formal session begins at 3:30.

I hope to see you there.

Tune in to the forum

WCHL (1360 AM) will holding its annual Forum on air today from 8 am to 6 pm. I can't find the schedule on their site, but they generally dedicate each hour to a different topic with 4-6 guests and a couple of journalists.

It probably won't be as exciting as in 2004, when the forum was kicked off by a tense 2-hour tete-a-tete over UNC development.

In 2005, I was a particpant in the "Civil Rights & Equality" topic. This year I'll be on during the 3 pm hour in which the topic is "Community Diversity," which appears to be a re-phrasing of the same issue(s). And I'm still frustrated at the hourly separation of topics because of course I have things to say about all of them! ;-)
