Calling All Moraga Citizens!!

We are soliciting your questions, starting now, on topics that you would like Town Council candidates to answer.  In early September, we will have a team of volunteers sort those questions, and submit 4-6 of those commonly asked to the Lamorinda Weekly.  Their staff will use our input as a guide to their election coverage, which includes a plan to submit a set of questions to the candidates, and then publicize their answers to those questions in the Sept. 29 issue. Send YOUR questions for the candidates to georgefisher@comcast.net. To volunteer as a question-sorter, email richard.scarpitti@lpl.com.
