Boys' State Day 2

While the rooster was enjoying another hour of beauty sleep, we citizens were up at 5:30 A.M. Physical Training (PT) begins at approximately 6:00 A.M. A few push-ups and a mile later, came the big city and county caucus meetings for the week here at Boys' State. Elections ranged from selecting a county mayor to choosing our city and county police.
The city caucus is one of the most important focal points in all of Boy’s State. Government involvement in Boy’s State is an all too overlooked activity. Though most of the details heard about Boys' State are based mainly on rigorous drilling and exercise, delegate’s involvement in Boys' State government is where, for the most part, the learning is done. Many hours in the Boys' State day are dedicated to simulated-county and city government jobs. In brief, county and city involvement has a lot to do with politics and hard educational work.
Day 2 in Boys' State, a far busier day than that of the day we first arrived, is officially a wrap! After today, all county employment will officially be in motion and jobs will be in full swing. In a way Boys' State 2005 has just begun!
