West Side candidates' forum, Tuesday, April 14

[Peggy Gurney]

Half of our attendance at the 3rd ward forum were young adults. So that would have been about 70.

My family gets off work at 5:00 to 5:30, they have children that must be picked up at their aunts who cares for them after school. One is a nurse in a doctor's office and she doesn't get off till 5:30. The child of one of my cousin's is blind from birth and her parients have her to care for. I know that other young adults have things that are more pressing than to run off to a political event.
Now in the minds of many, nothing is more important than one of these forums ... NOT EVEN A HANDICAPPED CHILD ... but why should we care?
Let me ask this question ... just how many YOUNG ADULTS attend these forums? GIVE ME NUMBERS, NOT GENERALITIES!

[PD]

6:30 seems reasonable. You don't want it to start to late do you?  No one wants to be out till 9pm

[Towntalk]

Why do all these forums have to start at 6:00 PM. What about those who have a real job and don't get off till 5:00PM. Apparently those working blokes don't matter in the grand scheme of things ... they just pay taxes unlike Senios Citizens, and those on welfare so apparently it's a case of keeping paying taxes and keep your mouth shut, your opinions don't count.
