A pair of local leaders - 54th District Assemblywoman Bonnie Lowenthal and 37th District Congresswoman Laura Richardson - will join Long Beach hotel workers at a town hall at Cal State Long Beach on Thursday to discuss the city's return investment on tourism, it was announced today.
The forum comes at the heels of a Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy study released earlier this month on behalf of the Long Beach Coalition for Good Jobs and a Healthy Community, which contends that the city's investment in the tourism industry has not led to adequate returns and has contributed to poverty in Long Beach.
My colleague Kevin Butler writes about it here, as does the District Weekly's Dave Wielenga. (Check out his story here) The town hall will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. at Cal State University Long Beach's Karl Anatol Center, AS 110 (next to library on south side of campus), 1250 Bellflower Blvd.
