We can make mayors and officers every year, but not scholars.

Be not solitary, be not idle

There are new mayors who might not be aware of the latest developments. We need to brief them on the entire process.

This is our 15th year to have the honors reception. It's a way to recognize scholars at all the private and pubic high schools in White County.

If you talk to mayors, to governors, to police chiefs, they are just not ready, and we had better get ready,

I will lobby tirelessly in cooperation with other mayors around the country to insure that federal funding for our recently added police officers continues.
