town hall

“This is a very challenging budget year — and painful for all of us,” Sarah Mahin, director of the county’s homeless department, told an online town hall Thursday.

“Can you give me a second? I’ll catch up with you all after the town hall.”

The president has called for civility and dialogue, while panels and town halls are being organized to discuss immigration, labor rights, and political expression in constructive ways.

Members of the state Board of Forestry and Fire Protection’s Zone 0 Advisory Committee will also be speaking at an informational town hall meeting Wednesday at the Ventura County Fire Department’s headquarters in Newbury Park.

The school’s administrative offices functioned as a makeshift town hall.
