Mutual Respect Pays Off for City Council
When I was elected to the College Station City Council last May, I had a lot of preconceived notions about how the council worked. Frankly, I expected never-ending meetings filled with tedious topics, and I willingly accepted that fate when I decided to run. Boy, was I wrong. The last six months have been a pleasant surprise, and the council’s work has been much more interesting than I ever imagined.
I caught on very quickly to the fact that every issue that comes before the council is important to someone. Some agenda items may get more publicity than others, but everything we discuss has value. I encourage everyone to run for the city council at some point in their lives because it really opens your eyes about how things work and what goes into the decision-making process. I’ve enjoyed being a part of that process, and I hope we’ve made responsible decisions that will make things better for folks in College Station.
