Patient and Neighborly

I went to the town council meeting tonight. As predicted, we lost our clerk treasurer. I am sure she has made the right decision. I applaud her for dealing with all of the ins-and-outs of the sewer project. A new clerk treasurer will be appointed. Mmmm, I wonder if the new boys on the block have someone in mind????

It was a pretty normal meeting. Questions regarding the sewer, storm drains and grants. Proud of one member of the community for questioning the board on a rumor that would effect his business. The council members assured him that this was not the case. We shall see. Why do I say we shall see? Well one of our new council members and this business owner have had a difference of opinion for quite some time. I think as a community we need to stay on top of this issue and not let arrogance run this town.

The good news is, the meeting was well attended. I believe that if we continue to attend these meetings, that the council members will know that we are not going to sit back and just let things happen. They wanted change, I say we give them change.

A positive note tonight, the announcement of the Memorial Day parade. It will be held on May 31st and starts at 10:30 a.m. If you have never attended the Leesburg Memorial Day parade, you should. It is what community is about...

I will end this with the closing words of one of our council members last night.

Be patient and neighborly.
