To date, our committee has had several meetings and has had the committee participation of five (5) local attorneys and begun to focus the event on Saturday, April 30, 2016, between 9 AM to 5 PM, at the City Heights Library complex. On Saturday evening we are arranging a Candidates Forum for City Attorney and a participants and supporters reception.
