"Following the success of this winter's meetings, I am excited to announce the next round of events," said Mayor Joseph Ferris. "More than 150 people across all five wards attended a town hall. These meetings represent what city government aspires to on a daily basis--transparent, engaged, and responsive. Listening to the questions, concerns, and ideas of my constituents and neighbors is a fundamental part of what it means to be mayor. I invite everyone to attend these meetings and not just be listened to, but heard."
The next "Meet the Mayor" open office hours will be held at City Hall on Thursday, May 21, from 3 to 5 p.m.
For more information about these community outreach efforts, please email Mayoral Aide Tiffany Martin at mayoralaide@cityofhudson.org.
Well done Mayor Ferris and Mayoral Aide Martin.
ReplyDeleteOne suggestion/request: after all 5 ward meetings, publish a short recap or consolidated Q&A so every resident sees the same answers at the same time.
It would build Shared Facts across the city.
The Q&A varied meaningfully across the five wards during the previous round of Town Halls (Ward Halls?), and our editors left wishing each ward could see and hear what the others asked.
Regardless, the record will show you followed through on this core campaign promise.
