Thank you, David Miller, for seven great years
As I noted a while back, and mentioned earlier today, our new mayor begins his term tomorrow. Today is the last day that David Miller, the man that we’ve been lucky enough to call our mayor since December of 2003, will hold the office. I hope you’ll join me in thanking the mayor for seven […]
