(May 23, 2018, 8:45 a.m.) -- Tonight (May 23), the runoff candidates in LB's 7th Council district -- incumbent Councilman Roberto Uranga and challenger Jared Milrad -- will face off in a forum organized by the Los Cerritos Neighborhood Association (LCNA). The site is the Petroleum Club, 3636 Linden Ave., with brief candidate meet-and-greet at 6:45 p.m. with the forum's scheduled start at 7:00 p.m.

"The LCNA Board will select all questions for the moderator, LCNA President Bob Gill," says LCNA's Facebook page, which invited questions for consideration by email until May 21...and says no audience questions will be accepted at the event. [Scroll down for further.]

Meanwhile, as of dawn May 23, there is no runoff candidate face-off scheduled in ELB's 5th Council district between incumbent Councilwoman Stacy Mungo and challenger Rich Dines. On May 16, Dines campaign spokesman Thomas Johnson told LBREPORT.com "We have been working on trying to set up a debate with her campaign team, but her team has not been able to come up with a date that would work for her."

Last night (Tues. May 22), Mr. Dines held a Town Hall at McBride High School attended by roughly 40 people at which he fielded audience questions submitted on cards. Mr. Dines stressed his opposition to General Fund Measure M on the June 5 LB ballot (called it a "blank check" with no assurance of restoring police officers); opposed international operations at LB Airport (said LGB a great Airport as it is) and pushed-back on hit-piece mailers that accused him of taking vacations with his wife on Port money (denial) and linked him to cost overruns on the Gerald Desmond bridge (said it's legally a CalTrans project, costs stemmed from CalTrans design changes plus abatement of former oil field on bridge site.)
