Hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Now back to work..
Local media report a commissioner meeting will be held at 10 AM today at the Walker Commissioner Office on Duke Street. Only seventy days since the last public commissioner meeting, according to the LU Commissioner Meeting timer.
Concerned citizens are strongly encouraged to attend – if you’re not back at work yet from Christmas break, take the time tomorrow to participate in local government.
Many people who have waited since October 18th for a chance to ask the Commissioner a few questions are planning to be at the meeting, and will hopefully get video to share here tomorrow.

News of the explosion was first reported on LU Facebook shortly after 10 PM. Posts are here, here, and here.
