Montgomery, Alabama
Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed hosted a community town hall Tuesday evening at AUM. According to a spokesperson for Mayor Reed, more than 300 people came to the town hall meeting, and at least 120 questions had previously been submitted online by concerned citizens. But only about 24 questions were actually answered in the hour and a half that the meeting lasted because of time constraints.
The questions from residents covered a variety of topics – one woman asked if the Mayor was willing to continue getting help with policing from ALEA and the Montgomery County Sheriff’s office, and the Mayor said he would continue. Another person asked what was being done about the homeless problem in the city. The mayor said a homeless task force was assembled in the last year, and they would be working with fourteen agencies.
Montgomery resident Margen Menefee said, “I thought it was wonderful to see so many community members and so many leaders all expressing their care and concern for the city. I think it’s important for us to be able to have an opportunity to voice those things and also hear the feedback of where our money is going, where our efforts are going, and what they’re doing.”
