Lots of Moving Parts to a City

Dirk Cavanaugh, Mayor of Perry, says when he was first elected mayor, what surprised him most was the number of operations the city ran and things he didn't think about, like a cemetery.

He says while progress can be slow, it's important to hear from all voices as the city moves forward. Including, he emphasized, young people.
