AND, the winners are...........

A big hug and thank you to every single candidate for alderman and school board, for caring about our city enough to put the love, time and effort into your campaigns. For those who won, please be reminded that you represent ALL the citizens of Germantown, not just your supporters.

I hope that all make transparency and honesty the top priorities, and communicate with the citizens of Germantown. Our concerns do not need to be marginalized. 

To our new Boards:  Please try your best to get along with each other, please discuss issues in public view, not in private conferences before the votes, and please do not leave each other out of official pictures. Please be nice.  We will continue to shine a light.

And, congratulations to the winners. I got the results from here.
