Known for telling it like it is, City Councilman Bernard Parks is speaking at a city budget forum this morning organized by the Harbor Area neighborhood councils. The forum takes place at 9:30 a.m. on Feb. 27 at Rolling Hills Preparatory School, Palos Verdes Drive North west of Gaffey Street.

Hear from Parks, chair of the budget committee, along with union leader Julie Butcher, neighborhood councilmembers and others to learn how the city budget crisis can and will hit home for San Pedro residents and all Angelenos. (Some hints can be found in the Week in Review stories below.)

View the flyer for more information.
