Hello reader!

My name is Liliana Palmer and I’m editing the Local Politics column this semester while studying graphic design here at SMCC. All the stories in this column will come from areas as close to campus as possible. The politics of our own communities are often mysterious to us, but hopefully this column will bring them within your reach. My column will also be home to the Op-Eds, so please send me your opinions as well as your news (labeled appropriately). Feel free to contact me by clicking my name in the staff box!
