Polk County Democrats

 The communications group will meet again this Sumday (5/19) at 2:00 pm at the HQ. It's an informal group of active Democrats seeking to improve our ability to communicate, over a wide range of venues and methods. The meeting is open, and we'd love to hear different insights into this most perplexing and evolving aspect of politics today. Join us if you can.

 Their normal meeting is Monday, May 20, at 7:00 pm at the Womack Building, and the agenda for the meeting is here. The budget working sessions were this week, and are ongoing, and there will be ramifications of that at this meeting. 

 The combined meeting of the commissioners and the soil/water and land preservation boards was largely free of controversy and resulted in full agreement that Lynn Sprague's position and his programs be continued.
