EDITOR;
I have lived and worked in the community all my life. Thirteen years ago I started at the Town of Vauxhall.
There have been changes of councils, administrators and even a few employees over the years I have been there. Being an employee of the town is very rewarding and yes, sometimes very trying. I like to think the town office doors are always open to this community, for your questions, concerns and ideas. After those front doors close behind you, your concerns are not forgotten, nor are they dismissed.
Whether they are addressed by administrative staff, public works or council, we do not take our jobs lightly. Our teamwork divides the task and multiplies that success. I believe not only in our community but in our small, committed staff, and the care we take each and every day in our jobs.
In conclusion, I would like to express my appreciation to the town of Vauxhall citizens for their support of our community and to the town staff, for which I am privileged to be part of, and also to Mayor Maloney and Coun.(s) Farnsworth, Glas, Green, Hagen, Van Uden and Brown for your support and dedication to your elected roles.
I look forward to many more interesting years  and the next new council. Come out and vote. Your vote is your voice.
