City Council Forum - tonight!
Our School Committee Candidates' forum was a great chance to observe the candidates and learn their views on many issues; tonight we can do the same for the city council race. Tonight's forum is sponsored by the Non Profit Alliance of Greater Lowell (of which the CPC is a member) and will be held at the Lowell Senior Center on Broadway (across from the Market Basket). It starts at 7:00 p.m.
Before I got involved in public education issues, I didn't pay much attention to the city council. Then, when the school department had to make deep cuts in 2003 (cuts which for the most part have not been restored) because the council would not fund the school budget, I had a long overdue revelation. I started paying attention. I finally realized that the city council makes decisions that directly impact everything that happens in this city - including what happens in our schools. People who care about the schools need to be informed about the issues, about who is on the council and how they are voting. So, come out tonight and learn what the candidates have to say on education and many other topics.

I'm always torn with the Monday night forums. I want to go, but Drinking Liberally is every week and as host I need to be there.
So I'll miss tonight, at least in person (though one can usually catch them on LTC).
