It's Scoville's city now

Today, Mayor-elect Jack Scoville became mayor of the City of Georgetown.

With that, he inherits some of the worst days seen in this community. Unemployment has risen. People question the spending of city government. Others want more jobs. Even more want to see the city become more than what it is now.

Scoville has been asked some tough questions here by me. Now, it's time for action. Along with Jeanette Ard, maybe the so-called Democratic city council members can engage with the mayor and help get some meaningful items accomplished.

The city and its people surely need it.

Ard plans to hold regular forums, involving the city residents as a way to communicate what it happening on the city government level to the people it affects. Let's hope this lasts. Best wishes with the first on January 25.

Scoville has a healthy platform that will be tested. This is his city now. He now assumes all the responsibility in regards to steering the ship out of the fog.

Four years is a long time to some. It'll fly by in no time on the political level. Let's hope city council and its new mayor get going immediately.
