Discussions in Gustavus
I got to participate in two town halls this week as folks in Gustavus talked through the pros and cons of organizing as a first class city, a second class borough, or sticking with their second class city. Lynn Kenealy, who staffs the Local Boundary Commission, called in to answer questions. She did a great job sharing facts and insights on the application process & standards. I learned a lot!
Then someone asked a question about the state education funding formula and I made everyone's eyes roll back in their heads. I may have gotten too deep into the details.
It was good to hear the discussion of how folks in the community feel about Gustavus' future. There's a lot to consider, and I encourage everyone in Gustavus to reach out to your city council members and participate. Let them know what you think serves the best interests of Gustavus in the long term.
