Cobb Residents Have Pick Between 2 Forums Tonight

One will be on the proposed regional transportation tax, and the other is for the four Cobb commission chair candidates.

Cobb citizens will have their pick tonight between two forums, both of which can be watched from home.

The four Cobb commission chairman candidates, all Republicans, will gather at the county government building at 100 Cherokee St. in Marietta from 7 to 9 p.m. for the Cobb County Civic Coalition's forum.

Members of the public are invited to attend. The forum can also be viewed live on Cobb County's TV23 and online.
