The featured speaker at Monday's Democratic luncheon will be Donna Inversin, a member of the Carson City Open Space Advisory Committee since 2011. She has been a Muscle Powered board member since 2007, and in the years since has served as the group's president, secretary, treasurer, walk leader and trash mob organizer. The Muscle Powered organization works toward a community where walking and biking, for transportation or recreation, is a way of life. They promote creation of pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly infrastructure by developing and maintaining trails and resources.

Truckee Meadows Community College political science professor Fred Lokken will be the featured speaker at Monday's Democratic tele-luncheon. Prof. Lokken's presentation will include insights into the prospects for passage of physical and social infrastructure bills currently stalled in the US Senate, as well as the status of on-going attempts to entrench minority rule in state legislatures and the House of Representatives through district map gerrymandering and voter suppression laws.
