I'm a politician now! Yea!
Last night, I was sworn in as a council member for my village. I am filing the term of someone who resigned. I have two years to do, then I can run for election in my own right.

My village has 300 people, and at first it didn't seem like it would be complicated. Wrong. I have a lot to learn, especially with issues relating to our utilities and our dealings with the county and state I live in. I hope to catch on quickly!

:patriot: Just doing my duty. I was promised $25 a meeting, but I won't be gettiing a check until December. This is definitely not for the $$$.

5. Wise Council
.
A good friend once got on the City Council of Winslow, AZ (yes,
the one with Jackson Browne standing on the corna),
.
She didn't put on any airs about it.
.
Except........... she told me, "You may henceforth refer to me
as "The Empress of Arizona".
