The Des Moines Lyceum: Healthy Local Democracy

Why does it matter to participate in local government? How can we do it in a fruitful way? This month’s topic will look at the history and philosophy behind our local government system and examine the benefits and possibilities that come from engaging seriously in local concerns.

Featuring 20 year city councilman and President of the Better Business Bureau for Greater Iowa Chris Coleman, and Director of Drake University’s Harking Institute and Windsor Heights City Councilman Joseph Jones.
