You are invited to a Graffiti Action Forum on Saturday February 4, 2012 from 1:30 to 3:30 PM at the City of Tucson Ward 6 Office near Speedway and Country Club. Agenda link The forum is to focus on tackling Tucson's graffiti problem from every angle. At the forum, our goal is to form committees to take on tasks such as researching City Codes in other jurisdictions, review what courts are doing, look at what kinds of successes other communities have had, how our local judges are handling offenders, getting support from local businesses, etc. Most of all, we want to move from talk to action. We'd love for you and your neighbors to participate.
