I'm delighted he's been given the opportunity to fulfill, what I have been told is a lifelong dream, to become a police chief of a small town. But, I'm also a little saddened that we won't have him as often in our community as he's been over the last 30-some years.

Ultimately, we've come to a log jam.

Every election there is always an effort to get more people to vote.

The whole idea is to require property, building and land-use development decisions to be made with the best practices available to them at the time.

The goal we set out to accomplish was to clean up the corner of Alabama Drive and Elden. And, in the first week it looks like we've been successful. But, there is still a lot of work to be done with the property owners along Elden Street to ensure the area stays clean in the future.

I hope we won't have to make any major changes. If you're going to build it, we might as well bite the bullet and do it right the first time.

I think you can take any chapter and spend hours talking about its nuances.

This is an important enough project that we need to get it done right, rather than get it done quickly.

I need more information about how it got where it was.
