Fifth District Councilwoman Gerrie Schipske is getting her re-election campaign rolling with a fundraiser from 5 to 7 p.m. today at Cirivello's Pizza, 4115 N. Viking Way. It isn't exactly cheap pizza -- from $35 to $350 -- but I guess the money isn't really paying for food.
We haven't heard much from Schipske's only opponent so far -- Mike Hedges, president and CEO of Pacific Striping in Signal Hill. RSVP to www.schipske4council.com.
