Transportation, Land Use & the Environment: Election Forum 2008 (Berkeley Districts 2,5,6)

by Jason Meggs
Fourteen environmental groups active in Berkeley and the East Bay sponsored an election forum on Transportation, Land Use and the Environment for candidates for Berkeley City Council and Mayor. This is the third (City Council Districts 2, 5 and 6) forum.

The three forums were filmed live at Berkeley Community Media, Channel 33, on Saturday, October 11.
They will be shown repeatedly on BCM Ch. 33 (and simultaneously webcast).

Candidates also submitted written comments on even more questions than were able to be asked in the forums.
