Politics & Government

Ways to Participate: July 4

A weekly look at happenings in your local government

The state government may have shut down, but that hardly means the Hopkins City Council has packed up and gone home. However, since neither the school board, the Zoning and Planning Commission, or the Park Board are scheduled to meet this week, they're all you've got this week. So swing on down to on Tuesday, July 5th, at 7:30 PM. 

Ever seen an audit up close? No, it's not some strange beast of the jungle; the City Council is recieving an anual report on the state of its finances from an independent accountant. Warning: audits can be very dry and esoteric, even in the midst of a fiscal emergency.

Congratulate new park board member: Mayor Maxwell will administer the oath of office to Tom Jenny as he joins the Park Board.
