I've found an interesting town meeting that's coming to Owensboro and has peaked my interest. It appears to promote the voice of the people and solicits a group consensus. According to their web page, the purpose of the meeting is; With leadership from an engaged, informed and diverse group of local citizens, We the People, a 21st Century Town Meeting seeks to provide all residents with the opportunity to make their voice heard and be a part of planning the future of our community.
