CVCA Hosting Candidates Forum
The Crescenta Valley Community Assn. is holding a Glendale City Council candidates forum tonight, Thursday, May 1 starting at 7 p.m. at the La Crescenta Library.

A special election to fill the last 10 months of Rafi Manoukian’s Glendale City Council term has been added to the June Primary ballot. Councilmember Manoukian was elected as city treasurer in 2013 and Frank Quintero was appointed to fill the slot until an election. Those who have recently moved are reminded to re-register; everyone eligible to vote in the election needs to learn about the candidates and issues, and vote on June 3.

Submit questions to wdweisman@yahoo.com or come to the forum and submit it from the audience.
