Covington Civic Field Notes
I'm documenting what I learn attending Covington public meetings, reading the official record, and following decisions over time. These aren't official minutes or complete news reports — they're my first-person notes, separated from what the documents confirm, updated as proposals become decisions.
What I heard at Covington's August 25 legislative meeting
Public comment opened with a domestic-violence testimony, then five speakers challenged a proposed 10-year Axon public-safety technology contract; the Board pulled that item from consent, and tabled the mayor's proposed oversight amendment to the September 8 legislative meeting rather than voting that night.
