Wednesdays with the Mayor
Join Mayor Jordan Hess for in-person discussions of current affairs and answers to your questions on all topics to do with City governance from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on the fourth Wednesdays of each month in a relaxed setting on the Level Four of the Missoula Public Library. Missoula broadcast journalist Dennis Bragg will moderate. Visit the City’s website closer to the event to see the topic of the month. All are welcome!
Please note: There will be no Wednesdays with the Mayor in November
Watch the livestream or view meetings later on MCAT TV on YouTube. During the meeting you may also phone us with questions at (406)552-6002.
