BANNING, CA — Banning Mayor Richard Royce will be hosting a town hall meeting to discuss the future of the city on Sept. 14, officials announced on Tuesday.

The meeting comes amid financial issues the city is facing and a public records request by the Riverside County District Attorney's Office for documents related to Banning Electric Utility. The records request was sent months after a Grand Jury report which said Banning Electric Utility customers were "double-billed monthly."
