CitComm now a temporary candidate forum
Monday, August 25, 2014 by Jo Clifton
Thursday’s City Council agenda currently contains 150 items, including the frequently amusing Citizens Communications. We can expect to see candidates making an effort to present their issues on Channel 6 through this method for the next couple of months. This week, Council will hear from Susana Almanza, running for District 3, whose topic is “make Austin affordable,” and CarolAnnRose Kennedy, a District 5 candidate who will talk about “PRECEDENTIAL ASPIRATIONS.” Prepare to be entertained.
