Where's the Civic Duty?

The Montclair Town Council recently had a meeting on the municipal budget, Baristanet reports. However, only one man, Phil Read, cared to come to the meeting to discuss the proposed measures that could add an average of $200 to the bill of every homeowner in Montclair.

It's a shame that more residents aren't involved in routine local affairs, despite their oftentimes boring nature. The most important government is usually the closest one.
