On September 25, 2008 on the Lake Worth campus of Palm Beach Community College, a panel of young people asked questions of candidates for the Florida Legislature. The panelists were representative of children throughout Palm Beach County.
To prepare for the forum, the panelists met with many of their peers to discuss issues and prepare their questions. Their questions were reviewed only to ensure clarity and appropriateness.
