Students from Hudson High School took over the various governmental offices in Hudson City Hall Thursday as part of the annual Youth Government Day. Sponsored by Operation Unite in conjunction with Hudson High School and the city of Hudson, the day-long event sees handpicked students trail the various city officials during the morning session and then after lunch they gather for a mock Common Council meeting.
