Hood River Mayor Paul Blackburn has established a Latino Advisory Council for the City.  Blackburn says he came up with the idea during his election campaign after receiving favorable response for making a couple of speeches in Spanish.  He says the group will meet about once a month with a goal of providing him and other civic leaders a different perspective on various issues.  The next meeting of the group will take place on Wednesday, March 2 at 4:30 p.m. in Hood River City Hall.
