"Governing at the most
local level demands that we disregard our differences, ignore partisan
association and discard our egos in order to provide the very best for
our communities. Land use, economics, housing, government services,
infrastructure and parks are all important, but governing is about the
people.
Somehow, by listening carefully, we must fashion an agenda and
set out on a course that all our residents can embrace. The moment we
forget that, the moment we place one individual’s agenda ahead of the
fundamental needs and hopes of our residents, we will have failed.
Our community must not go down that path. We must remain an example of
good government, good community, and good people."
- The Honorable Thomas Cordier
