Medford City Council Listens to Citizens!!!

Council listened to citizens and were swayed to fund the purchase of a home to be a shelter for teenage homeless youth. It happened, and although that might not seem like a big story from somebody who is far, far away, let me repeat: Here in these parts this was a Milestone Event!
