Our town is still small enough that we have an annual budget meeting, where the citizens have the opportunity to ask questions and comment on proposed spending for the upcoming year. Here's a slice of small town life: the mayor seated at the table, the town manager and superintendent of schools chatting with townspeople, and a few folk reviewing the charts and tables before the meeting starts. Poster Edges made it into a sketch of local democracy.

  2. Small town life is so different. I really like it. When we moved here 18 years ago this was a small town and the shopkeepers knew your name. Not so any more!!

  6. That's a really interesting subject and a nice effect for it. Not too many in the audience so I suppose there were no volatile budget items.
