Tom Peterson to be inducted into to Lodi Community Hall of Fame for contributions to city government

Posted: Monday, September 19, 2011 12:00 am | Updated: 6:38 am, Mon Sep 19, 2011.

When Tom Peterson first began his career as a city hall reporter in San Diego, he decided he liked what the people in city government were doing. After working in city government for two years in San Diego, Peterson relocated to Lodi, where he served two stints with the city of Lodi. He believes in helping people make things happen.

"When you can sit back and view accomplishments of the city and know you helped, that is very fulfilling," he said.
