Supervisor Smith to host forum Saturday

Pinal County Board of Supervisors’ Vice Chairman Anthony Smith is hosting a community forum with state legislators and county elected officials 10 a.m. to noon Saturday at the Maricopa Unified School District office, 44150 W. Maricopa-Casa Grande Highway.

Smith plans to emcee the event during which state legislators and county elected officials will give a brief update to the public, followed by a question and answer session and closing remarks.

“The Legislative District 11 elected officials, Sen. Al Melvin and Reps. Steve Smith and Adam Kwasman, represent a wide swath of Pinal County, just as those of us on the board do,” Smith said. “With such a large district, we wanted to offer our communities an opportunity to come face-to-face with their lawmakers and county public officials.”

Smith has invited the county sheriff, treasurer, recorder, assessor, county attorney, clerk of the Superior Court and school superintendent to participate alongside the state legislators.
