— from Mia Kartiganer —

Many thanks to everyone who supported and voted for me. And for those who did not I will work diligently to assure your disappointment is short lived.

Thanks to Greg Ayers for the kind words and encouragement as he conceded.

Congratulations to all of our newly elected commissioners and board members.

The adventure begins. May we always be guided by our hearts and best intentions. With respect and gratitude . . .
