Hello, Burlington!
I mentioned yesterday I was going to go more in-depth in the structure and history of Burlington’s government, and it made sense to go back to my roots and create a story for the Local Government section. I’m going to keep the rest of the Buzz short, because I really think it’s an interesting and essential read. So, please! Click below and read. And then come back and see what’s going on in town today.

These government profiles are how the Buzz got started, and one of our main missions is to keep people informed and involved. We’re going to start talking about elections (not politics) soon, and the more we all know about the way our government works, the better!
