“The eight week Palmdale Partners Academy is designed to present citizens with a first-hand look at city operations and services,” stated Palmdale’s Community Programs Coordinator Trish Jones.

During the academy sessions, participants will interact with city staff and learn the challenges facing municipal governments as well as gain insight into the city’s future goals and objectives.

    Can we send Rex to this? I might help him learn how to govern better. I don’t see any courses on cronyism, suing your neighboring cities, wasting tax dollars on pet projects like spy planes, and scaring the public with stories of impending disasters. Maybe he could become a normal mayor.
