SPEECH is co-sponsoring with Black Hills Audubon a question-and-answer program for the candidates for Port Commission. The program is Thursday, October 18, starting at 7:00 p.m. (actually 7:00 for social hour, 7:30 for start of program) at the Capitol museum Coach House, 211 W. 21st Street, in Olympia (as you know, the Coach House and adjacent parking are behind the Museum building).

You are invited to participate in a forum involving the four candidates for the Port of Olympia Commission. The forum is co-sponsored by SPEECH/Green Pages, Black Hills Audubon Society, and the League of Women Voters of Thurston County and will consist of a question and answer session. The event will be held Thursday, October 18, in the Capitol Museum Coach House, 211 W. 21st Street, in Olympia (with more convenient parking available on 22th Street). An informal social hour begins at 7 p.m., with the program beginning at 7:30 and ending about 9 p.m.

Following responses to four questions provided to the candidates in advance and which deal with public review and comment on Port projects, dioxin contamination in Budd Inlet, and declining Port revenues, the major part of the forum will be devoted to answering questions from the floor. The proceedings will be handled by a moderator.
