It has been an honor and privilege to serve as the Mayor of Franklin Township for 2011. Thank you to the Committee, our municipal employees, and our residents for placing your trust with me over this past year; I took each day and each decision I made very seriously with only the best interests of the township in mind.
From each Committee meeting to visits with residents at their homes, to my talks with our students at FTS, to working with our police officers, attending firefighter / EMS meetings, attending our Boy Scout's Court of Honor, and being in the dunk tank on Community Day... I have learned so much of the history and traditions of Franklin, but more importantly, I observed how active our residents are in local affairs- volunteerism, dedication, and sharing their talents and skill impressed me the most. Some folks love the budget, others the environment, and others take pride in teaching our next generation of residents. And if you love run-on sentences, then you loved the first sentence of this paragraph!
As I enter the third year of my term, I look forward to working with our new Mayor and the Committee in 2012. My blog updates in 2011 were not as frequent as they were in 2010 but fear not, I will provide even the most diehard readers of The Franklin First with a plethora of entries for the year to come. Happy New Year.
Scott
