For some folks, it may seem like the chatter around DOGE cuts and federal policy changes has wound down. But for others? That conversation is just getting started. In fact one local resident even decided it’s time to take action.

“My concern is that people won’t really start paying attention and being proactive about this until it’s too late,” Trey Alvey explains.

“This is a great opportunity for all in the community to really better understand how federal policies are impacting our local community. So, whether that’s things like tariffs, budget funding cuts to nonprofits, immigration issues? Whatever it is? We want to talk about it” says Trey.
