Westside Neighborhood Mayoral Forum | Thursday, April 26

6:30pm | Hall of Flowers County Fair Building in Golden Gate Park
WTPCC, SHARP and several other West side neighborhood groups will host a public forum for the eight candidates running for SF City Mayor in June. This promises to be a lively and interactive event, and will be a great opportunity for citizens living in the less-dense, residential West side to hear first-hand how the candidates stand on issues like property crime, parcel taxes, increasing service fees for water, garbage and transit, and many other topics.
