I was happy to see that Boulder City is going to have an election that provides time for both communicating as well as understanding. It is unresolved until Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026.

Have you ever called for emergency services in Boulder City? Did you know that on medical calls, the fire department typically sends two or more first responders?

As we close in on early voting for the April 6 election for two members of City Council, some thoughts have come to me.

The other day I was reminded of what it was like to be part of a protest surrounded by thousands of others. How did the huge protests happen? There was no internet or Facebook or Google telling people where to gather at what time. No one called me to meet them in Grant Park or on Dearborn Street in downtown Chicago, yet I got there, along with thousands of others.
