This event is made possible in part due to generous support from:
The African-American Heritage Fund of the Grand Rapids Community Foundation
And brought to you by the collaborative efforts within the following departments of the Community Media Center:
The Wealthy Theatre was a packed house on Wednesday night, as mayoral candidates Robert Dean, John George, Willard Lee and Rosalynn Bliss answered questions from both co-moderators and local citizens via a Twitter wall. Debate topics included topics of City Services, Neighborhood and Business Development, Race and Our Community and Civil Liberties.
Many Twitter questions were not able to be answered in the allotted time, so follow-up articles will give mayors to a chance to answer more answer citizen concerns.
This event was brought to the community by the Community Media Center with the generous help of our sponsors at the Grand Rapids Community Foundation and the ACLU of West Michigan
This video will also be rebroadcast on GRTV Channel 25 on Monday evenings from 6-7:30 on July 20 and 27 and August 3.
