Congressman to attend Fresno council session
U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Pasadena, will hold a workshop on issues
facing the central San Joaquin Valley on Sunday at a special session
of the Fresno City Council.
The discussion will focus on water and real estate foreclosures, but
other topics may be discussed, Council President Cynthia Sterling
said. The meeting will start at 3 p.m. in council chambers.
Schiff also will be featured at a forum sponsored by the Armenian
National Committee Central California Chapter at 4 p.m. Schiff is a
congressional leader in advocating recognition of the Armenian
genocide.
The forum will give Valley residents an opportunity to ask Schiff
about the April 24 Armenian genocide recognition -- and concerns about
Turkish-American relations if the day is recognized by the U.S. Schiff
has been a leading voice in efforts to have states help descendants of
genocide survivors pursue personal insurance claims.
The event will take place at the Armenian Community Center, 2348
Ventura St.
