COMMISSION MEETING CANCELED; RETREAT STILL ON SCHEDULE
Covington City Commissioner Shawn Masters tells the River City News that Tuesday's Commission meeting is canceled. However, the Mayor & Commissioners will have their retreat and caucus meeting at the Radisson Riverfront this week. The cancellation of the commission meeting follows the postponement of a disciplinary hearing involving a police officer. So, the busy week that was predicted for the Commission on Sunday has been cut by half -- but the retreat should be interesting.

GEOFF DAVIS TALKS ADOPTION
Our Congressman was recently honored for his work on adoption. Today, his weekly column focuses on the issue:
To show my support for National Adoption Month, I am participating in the Adoptive Family Portrait Project organized by Voice for Adoption, a national non-profit organization that advocates for improved adoption policies.  I am supporting this annual awareness campaign by displaying the portrait and inspirational adoption story of a Kentucky family in my Washington, D.C. office.
