It's Mayor Michael to you
It's official. Dennis Michael is this city's mayor. Even the name plates on the wall of the Council Chambers have changed.
"I will lead with openness, with integrity and with the highest degree of ethics," Michael said. "I promise you I will build a City Council team that each of you will be proud of."
Michael, 63, thanked his parents
and his wife in a short emotional speech after taking the oath of office. The
former fire chief has served on the council since 2004 and was the top
vote-getter in a field of four running for the mayoral seat left wide open when
Don Kurth decided not to run for re-election.
Associate Justice Jeffrey King
led the swearing-in ceremony with about 100 people in the audience.
"You've got a new City
Council and a new mayor," King said.
"I will lead with openness,with integrity and with the highest degree of ethic's" and then make's a questionable appointment of Buquet, give me a break!
