Candidates forum set for Tuesday

The candidates' forum hosted by the Alta Loma Riding Club on Tuesday will have a Q & A portion that will allow residents to ask questions. This week, the City Council candidates received one question selected by the riding club in advance to be answered on Tuesday. Most of those questions are about open space, equestrian trails and other issues pertinent to the Alta Loma neighborhood.

The first candidates' debate of the season hosted by the Chamber was relatively lackluster. Councilman Dennis Michael said the local election season so far has been strangely quiet.

"I wonder if it's the calm before the storm," he said.

To find out, attend the forum at 7:30 p.m. but get there early for a seat. The event is located in the Heritage Park community building on 5546 Beryl St.
