From the Mayors Desk
Election Day has come and gone and after the smoke cleared
it appears that in May Sauk Village will have a new Mayor, new Clerk and four
new Trustees.
Congratulations to all those that were elected last night.
Mayor Elect Burgess
Clerk –Elect Campbell-Pruitt
Trustees – Elect
- Grant
- Brewer-Houston
- Todd
As I stated prior to being elected Mayor……."I would do some
things that the residents would like and some things that they wouldn’t". The
same holds true for the new board.
This election was tough and divisive however, I ask
residents and supporters to give the new board the respect you provided me. The
new board will face many challenges on top of the learning curve for the newly
elected (first timers).
Now that the elections are over and whether your candidates
won or lost let’s all agree not only to stay engaged but to push ourselves to
do even better. It’s time to put our feelings and differences aside and work
together to keep Sauk Village moving forward while always remembering, that it’s
ok to disagree but not be disagreeable.
In closing, if your candidates won, congratulations and
enjoy the victory. If your candidates did not win, remember what President
Obama said during this last Presidential election “no matter what happens the
sun will rise in the morning”.
Thank you,
Mayor David A. Hanks
