really reporting public affairs

Our first assignment was to chose a local governmental body to follow through the semester. My choice: the Huntington Weed & Seed Program. Weed & Seed is a community based program funded by the U.S. Department of Justice and ran with joint leadership, members of the community and local law enforcement. Members of the program supposed are to do positive things, like plant flowers and clean up trash, to give folks a sense of pride in their community; the idea is that that will be a deterrence to crime.

Throughout the coming months, I will get to know those in charge and attend meetings. A special investigative report will be completed on this program by the end of the semester.
