Getting Involved: Those who attend public board meetings keep an eye on government at work

For many, there is a specific reason, be it a proposal or a general concern.And occasionally, their attendance is the first step toward further involvement. Take, for instance, Helen Hoy, the North Webster area woman who's attended Kosciusko County Commissioner meetings regularly for more than a year.
