So we went on a tour of Kingston City Hall, which was pretty neat. The building has been recently redone, so it's quite something to see! We started at the bottom and worked up. The kids were introduced to all the various offices, and the people who worked there described a bit about what it is they do in each office (for instance, the Assessor's office).
We then went to the Mayor's office. After that, it was upstairs to where the business of government takes place. It was there that Mayor Sottile found us and talked to the kids about how government works and what he does. He stressed the importance of reading and study habits.
Overall, it was an impressive tour.
