I’m attending the National League of Cities annual conference in Reno, Nevada this week. Today was Day 1 of the conference. The big event today was the opening of the show room floor. There were over 100 vendors of all sorts. I picked up information from vendors selling products for trail maintenance, new lapel pins, software products for our cable television shows, the newest “photo-cop” products, tazers, microphones for Council Chambers applications, and so on and so on.
Tomorrow is the first day of actual training sessions. The keynote address tomorrow morning is being delivered by two former secretaries of the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development: Henry Cisneros and Jack Kemp. I’m looking forward to it.
