Charter Review Commission candidates won't have time to speak, which is understandable. Twenty people at three minutes a pop is an an evening all its own. But you'll hear from Mayoral and City Council candidates. (And I'm sure more than a few charter candidates will be in the room.)
The Greater Newburyport Republican Committee is hosting the event, which doubles as a fund-raiser for disabled veterans. So this is a great opportunity to get informed and give back.

Too bad this is the same time as the update on the sewer plant project.
Tom, If you found someone willing to produce charter commission candidates speaking, Port Media might be willing to run it. Probably would be happy to do it. They only tape/run municipal meetings with their own staff. Everything else is done by citizen volunteers (like Wayne and Garth).
Tom, they have changed the venue. There was concern over ADA compliance... Same time and same folks.
