In the Spotlight
On June 22, the City of Helena lost one of its most devoted public servants, Commissioner Eric Feaver.

Helena Mayor Wilmot Collins issued the following statement regarding the loss of Commissioner Feaver and his legacy:

"I’m saddened to share the news of Commissioner Eric Feaver’s passing. Eric was a fixture in local and state politics for decades and he leaves behind an incredible legacy of public service and advocacy for worker’s rights. I am proud to have served the City of Helena alongside him. I grieve with his friends and family, whom he spoke of fondly and often in our Commission meetings. Our Helena community will not be the same without him."
