1. The findings of the 2021–2022 yearly audit were presented during last week’s Lafayette City Government meeting prompting questions when multiple attorneys attended. Council member Glenn Lazard has raised concerns about LCG’s legal expenses related to attorneys. According to Lazard, numerous attorneys were present for the discussion, raising concerns about how they would be reimbursed for their assistance. Lazard said he will propose changes to the administration's charter at next week's meeting to prevent further problems like this from arising. (KLFY)
2. Purdue University's annual summer concert series began on Friday, Jun. 2. Every Friday until Jul. 28, various musicians will perform on the PMU's East Terrace.
