Perry Receives Top Award for Transparency in Financial Reporting
The City of Perry has, once again, been recognized for its commitment to financial transparency and accountability.
This national award is the highest honor in government financial reporting and reflects dedication to providing clear, accurate, and accessible financial information to our community.
| | | | The City of Perry Proclaims September as National Service Dog Month | | |
Mayor Walker, Mayor Pro-Tem James Moody, and Perry City Council joined the Shumate family and their late son’s service dog to honor the special bond between people and their service dogs.
Service dogs empower people with disabilities to live with greater independence, confidence, and dignity. More than 70 million adults in the U.S. have a disability, yet only about 16,000 service dogs from accredited training programs are currently serving nationwide — and the need continues to grow.
The City of Perry proclaims September as National Service Dog Month and encourages our community to celebrate service dogs, honor their handlers, and respect their rights of safe access throughout our city.
