The candidates on the primary ballot for Rockford City Council Position 5 have been invited to participate in a candidate forum tonight at 7 p.m. at the McIntosh Grange and First and Lake St. in Rockford. The candidates are Larry Van Every, Chuck Collison and Robert Tollefson. However, incumbent Van Every has stated that he has resigned from the council and plans to withdraw from the race due to a family emergency. Residents are encouraged to attend and ask questions.
