Troy

Summary

Longtime resident Susan Bergesen pressed council to act on proliferating deer — lost landscaping, car collisions, ecological damage — and asked whether Troy participates in the regional deer coalition or bans hunting. Councilwoman Chamberlain explained why a cull is controversial in a dense suburb; no action taken.
