It was my first city council meeting and it was interesting. I went there for a 4pm meeting as someone else was presenting about the American Tobacco Trail and how progress has been stagnant. They came well prepared with the petitions and comments from folks. Several of the council members stated they were completely on board and just waiting for more funding to get in place. A few of them actually ride the ATT all of the time, so that was cool.

Overall, a new experience. It's interesting to hear the good and bad issues that come up and the comments people make. At least now I know where our city hall is and a better idea on how to voice concerns down the road. Everyone should go to at least one city/town council meeting just to get the exposure.
