• Summit Resident to Council: 'I'd Like You to Be Working for Summit' (TAPinto.net) — A longtime Summit resident urged Common Council members this week to focus meetings on city issues like potholes, housing, and Broad Street redevelopment instead of global conflicts. Her comments followed a heated Sept. 22 exchange about national politics and a TAPinto Summit survey, where most respondents said council time should stay centered on local concerns and member conduct should improve.
