Greetings and welcome to the new MissoulaGov blog. After nearly six years of sending out my council updates through my list serve I've decided to supplement this service with this blog. This will give me the ability to post various files of interest and make it easier for a wider audience to access the material. I plan to continue to post and maintain the existing list serve for folks who like the discussion coming to their mailbox. Folks who just want to read the weekly updates and see the supplemental material can come here.
