[CRNMC] Willits Town Hall Meeting 5/18/14 (fwd)

[Michael St. John]

We on the coast (and elsewhere) might consider setting up similar meetings, for example at Town Hall in Fort Bragg.  Let's think of people here on the coast who might be on the panel.  MStJ.

 For those of us in the 95490 Zip.
 
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 Willits' fifth Town Hall  Meeting will take place May
 18th from 4:00 to 6:00
 at the Willits City  Council Chambers. The topic for
 discussion is "Our
 Community Rights: What are  they? Are we losing them?"
 
 Four people will make brief  presentations to help
 jumpstart the
 conversation: Karina McAbee  Cotler, a proponent of the
 Community Bill of
                
         Rights Anti-Fracking Ordinance;
 
               Charline
 Ford, local rancher and business woman; 
          
    Lynn  Kennelly, Director of Willits
 Chamber of  Commerce; 
             Margaret Koster,
 Co-chairperson of Mendocino County's Move  to
                
      Amend Coalition. 
 The public discussion will be  moderated by Carlin
 Diamond. 
 Community Events  Announcements will follow. 
 
 This is a large and complex subject, involving a wide
 variety of essential 
 issues for maintaining the kind of community we want. For
 example, we have 
 come to depend on many services-governmentcome to depend on
 many service 
 boundaries. Now that the economy is going into austerity
 mode, how can we 
 provide physical and mental health, quality education, and
 adequate food 
 and housing for our community? How can we keep our water and
 air supply 
 clean and healthy? Is there a way to strengthen our local
 economy, to 
 preserve the unique beauty of our valley? With many
 communities facing 
 privatization of what were once public resources, can we
 keep our 
 resources independent? How can we resist corporate
 pressures?
 
 This will be  Willits' last Town Hall until September.
 All residents of the
 95490 community  are invited to attend and give their
 input on these
 important issues. May  18th, 4:00 to 6:00 at the
 Willits City Council
 Chambers. For more  information, call Carlin at
 459-4850.
