the evening was informal but with audience full  participation.
the mayor and council rep swierz went away with information that they can bring back to their colleagues to the betterment of this city. i hope this was not a session that these two individuals use to add to their resume without some kind of impliementation. the audience was sincere with their comments and they went away with hope that this is not a one time session but an ongoing one throughout the entire city. the session gave some sense that the civic leaders want the citizens to step up to the plate and help to improve the city's image with the cooperation from the city leaders.
