You Are Invited to the Mirror’s Hometown Forum:

Hometown Forum is a 90-minute, question-and-answer debate in which each candidate for the Santa Monica City Council will have a chance to state their views and goals, and to offer solutions to the issues facing the City.

Event Date: October 11, 2010

Event Location: Santa Monica Main Library, Martin Luther King Jr. Auditorium, 601 Santa Monica Blvd., Santa Monica, CA 90401

Event Time: 7:00 – 8:30 p.m.

6:30 p.m. – Seating and informal meet-and-greet

7:00 p.m. – Forum/Debate Begins

8:30 p.m. – Forum/Debate Ends

Hometown Forum is not just the name of this event, it expresses the spirit of the event. That’s why the questions for the candidates will come from Santa Monica residents as well as local groups and organizations. The Mirror continues to welcome questions from anyone, which can be submitted via e-mail to election@smmirror.com or in person at the forum. Please include your full name and address when submitting questions.

At the forum each candidate will be given an equal, but limited, response time for each question asked. However, not all candidates will respond to all the questions. Candidates will be randomly organized into groups and each group will be asked different sets of questions.

We have put much thought into making the Forum as fair and unbiased as possible. We have no agenda nor will we favor any candidate over another. Our goal is for this to be structured and informational – to be meaningful, but not mean.

Contact: Christopher Rosacker, Santa Monica Mirror Editor, Tel: 310.577.6507 ext 107, Email: chris@smmirror.com
