Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes was honored to be the final guest lecturer at the Government and Law Related Experiences, or GALRE, class at Hamilton’s Steinert High School June 9, 2015.
The County Executive has been a frequent speaker to the class, which draws representatives from all facets of the government community, giving the students a chance to have open dialogue with local officials.
Students in the honors-level course, taught by Tracey Quinn, peppered the county executive with a variety of questions, from how he entered politics and government to how the county was able to successfully reduce its homeless population by 73 percent. The students also were eager to talk about Mercer County Community College, which several seniors said they would be attending next year, and how the community college is expanding its course offerings at the Trenton campus. Additionally, the high-schoolers expressed excitement over the expansion of destinations offered by Frontier Airlines from Trenton-Mercer Airport.
