November 3

I am thankful that I live in a democratic country where we can vote for who we want to represent us and lead our cities and our nation. Today is election day, so I took the time this morning to stop by the polls and cast my ballot. The only elections going on are for three city council seats, but do you realize how much the city council affects us? Most of the laws and policies that affect our daily lives are at the local level, not the federal level. Policies surrounding urban development, parks, libraries, utilities, etc. typically fall under the city council's pervue... so don't forget to vote!
