Town Manager ties Federalist Papers to 'America 2 50' series, urges residents to attend May 19 installment
Summary
Town Manager Mario Canizares framed the town's America 2 50 series through a short lecture on the Federalist Papers (1787–88), quoting Federalist No. 51 and promoting upcoming events including a May 19 meeting and a July 2 'Prosperous Pride in the Sky' at Frontier Park.
Town Manager Mario Canizares presented the council with a history-focused installment of the town’s America 2 50 series on May 12, walking through the authorship and purpose of the Federalist Papers and linking those founding-era ideas to local civic deliberation.
"Federalist number 51 written by Madison gave us the quote, 'if men were angels, no government would be necessary,'" Mario Canizares said, quoting James Madison to explain the need for checks and balances. He also asked residents to "stay tuned to the May 19th council meeting" for the next series installment and noted the larger sequence of events culminating in a July 2 Prosperous Pride in the Sky celebration at Frontier Park.
