Have you ever wanted to have your voice heard in the city of Dunkirk? Now is the chance for those city residents. The Citizens' Advis-ory Committee is in need of new members? Due to resignations and members failing to come to meetings, the CAC has four seats open.
"We only have eight, we need 12 (members)," member Danny McGill said.
Members Richard Gloss and Don Kaminski resigned in April. The most recent resignation came as Jim White resigned in November; Patricia Schanzlin-Hemenger also stepped down from her position on the board last fall.
