CLEVELAND, Ohio- Cleveland Mayoral Candidate Ken Lanci will take questions from community activists and other community members at 7:30 pm tonight, Wednesday, October 9, 2013 at Black on Black Crime headquarters at McCall's at 14660 Euclid Ave. For more information contact Community Activist Art McKoy at 216-253-4070.

Black on Black Crime President Ernie Harris will moderate the event, organizers said.

"This is a forum for people to hear Ken Lanci's political platform and to ask questions of him," said McKoy, the founder of Black on Black Crime Inc. and a Lanci supporter. "We invite everybody to come no matter which candidate they support."

Activists say that they will ask questions ranging from foreclosures, to education, to jobs, to safety and excessive police force. They said also that unfairness by the legal system is an issue they want addressed by the winner of this year's mayoral election

The nonpartisan mayoral election is November 5 and Lanci faces two-term Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson. Both are Democrats, though Jackson is Black, and Lanci is a White businessman and millionaire.
