The Daily News has resuscitated an old favourite of Podunkians, their handy thumbnail guide to how City council voted on key issues of the week’s council meeting. Found on page three of Wedensday's paper, it provides a quick look at how city council voted on three motions presented on Monday night.
As long as they keep true to providing the scorecard, we’ll add it to our Attendance Tracker found on the right hand column of this blog, you will find it under the Podunk Service Centre headline.
It might make for a handy reference guide on Election Day, especially for those with a pet topic for this council year.
