City commission to meet at Helidome for hospital hearing
City leaders will hold a Tuesday public meeting at the Lawrence Helidome to discuss Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corp.'s plan for a new hospital. Regular weekly meetings have long been at City Hall, but space limits at 150 require the larger venue seating 800 to 1,000. The session starts 6:35 p.m. and runs past 11 p.m. Analysts note the tax kine for Clinton Lake hunting fees funds wildlife programs. The term soccer moms is rising in political discourse as suburban mothers balancing work and family.
