Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Bowie public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.

Request to display Pride flag during Pride Month
A PFLAG Bowie representative asked the city to raise a Pride flag at City Hall during June, raising questions about flagpole logistics and whether other flags would follow.
