God forbid liberals get both sides of the story.
Good news, Ron! Our mayor, council president, and their handpicked committee have been cooking up their own alternative vision for Hudson. A Project 2035, if you will:

ReplyDelete🧐 Here’s my recurring observation:
If Hudson’s local (elected) government prioritized efficiency and focused on serving residents over engaging in bureaucratic theatrics, these meetings could be streamlined into 30-minute sessions, scheduled back-to-back on a single day in one venue.
Many towns of Hudson's size, in higher-functioning systems, accomplish this once a month without excessive pre-meetings, calls, or strategic politicking.
