#ACYPLMacedonia in Florida -- Pinellas County Commission Meeting

I was honored to be the State Host of the delegation of Macedonian political leaders for the American Council of Young Political Leaders (ACYPL) in December, organizing a 6-day visit in December.

We were able to attend a Pinellas County Commission meeting.  We saw the presentation of awards, e.g., to honor service to the county and to recognize homeowners for Florida eco-friendly landscaping.  We also were there to witness public comment on issues such as the tourism tax for the Spring Training facility for Blue Jays in Dunedin.  We were there to witness voting -- and learned more about transparency and "government in the sunshine."
