CD4 Community Congress

About 150 residents attended Councilmember LaBonge's second quarterly Community Congress of 2008 at the Friendship Auditorium on May 21st.

“Information is knowledge is power,” the Councilmember said. “Our great city is facing a number of important challenges right now. The public should have the opportunity to hear from their public officials, ask questions, and make their voices heard.”

The town-hall style meeting lasted about two hours. City officials discussed the 2008-2009 City Budget, land use issues, public safety and emergency preparedness.
