WHAT: The Edmund G. ÂPat Brown Institute of Public Affairs at Cal State L.A. presents a dialogue between opponents and proponents of secession. The Forum, ÂPost-Election Thoughts on Secession, will review secession efforts and provide an analysis of the Nov. 5th ballot results. WHEN: Thursday, November 7, 2002 9:30 AM  12:00 PM WHERE: California State University, Los Angeles, 5151 State University Drive, Los Angeles  University-Student Union, Alhambra Room AB WHY: The secession issue is one that will continue beyond the November elections. In a less confrontational venue, Los Angeles residents, businesses, elected officials and policy makers will explore its impact on local government, services, and communities. We must ask: What are the ramifications of the voting results? Where do we go from here? Will there be other secession efforts?
