Too bad you missed it; I didn’t see you there.
It was expected the LWV would record the city council candidate forum as they have other years, but didn’t for some unknown reason. Too bad since all 13 candidates were there.
The Santa Monica Daily Press is printing long questionnaire answers of all the candidates, a few in each issue.
My friend and longtime environmental activist, Linda Piera-Avila, is featured in this weekend’s issue, starting on pg 3:
