Although I have been critical from time to time with regards to our current mayor, I must applaud him on a few things which he has seen fit to support or change.  First I am glad that we are not appearing in ads everyday in our local paper.  Those ads showing the names of city officials were a waste of money and could be interpreted as a political ad for incumbents.  I applaud the fact that Jeff has slowed them considerably.  ALSO we as a council have decided not to fund the city officials costs of going to the annual municipal convention in September.  By all estimates it appears we will save about 20 thousand for other uses. Any official can still go but will be responsible for his or her own expenses. Jeff supported that as well.  And finally we are making some headway on some of the burnt out and eyesore buildings that have been a burden for years.  I appreciate Jeff taking the lead in getting some of those buildings under city control for scheduled demolition or cleanup.
