Recent Op-Eds

During the month of March, several op-eds penned by mayors, councilmembers and newspaper editorial boards ran in local papers across the state. Some were in response to recent legislation; others were drafted to thank citizens for their trust in local government and also to promote the vital services cities and towns provide. Below is a sampling of the opinion pieces and other articles published in the last month.
