Program
The program was a candidate forum, moderated by the Humboldt
County League of Women Voters featuring the folks running for the 2nd
Ward seat on the Eureka City Council in
November.
Incumbent Linda Atkins and her
two challengers, Joe Bonino and Charlie Bean answered questions submitted from
the club and talked about their priorities if elected and vision for the future
of the City.

Some of the topics touched
on included the proposed Marina Center, Eureka’s Homeless issue, tourism,
medical marijuana and if it was important to get along with fellow council
members. Each candidate also was given
time for a brief opening and closing statement.
Respectfully submitted,
