The North Lawrence Improvement Association hosted a Lawrence City Commission candidate forum Wednesday at the Union Pacific Depot.
Candidates Mike Dever, Justine Burton, Courtney Shipley, Brad Finkeldei and Dustin Stumblingbear participated. Candidate Amber Sellers was out of town for work.
Ted Boyle, NLIA president, led the discussion, with contributions and questions from other North Lawrence neighbors.
The group discussed topics including the lack of a North Lawrence grocery store, safety in the neighborhood and code enforcement concerns, expanding the Lawrence Regional Airport and property tax relief.
