Gary Padesky, who is running for city council in District 7, joined to discuss reopening City Hall, making the mayor part time with hiring a city administrator, what to do with the old Kmart and his past experience in government.

We also talked about outreach and communication, the responsibility of the public to be informed and the ability for people to go into City Hall.

Padesky also brought up how talks have died on the land agreement with Shelby, how his district is about to get a new elementary school and some of his past accomplishments when he was on city council before.
