A standing room only crowd gathered in Lunenburg on Monday night to welcome the town's new mayor and council. Mayor Rachel Bailey received a rousing and extended ovation after she was officially sworn-in to office during a special ceremony at the local fire hall. In her first mayoral address, Bailey underscored the importance of a team-first approach to governing and the need for balance when making decisions.
Bailey says the new council features a rich blend of seasoned veterans mixed with invigorated rookie players. Councillors Danny Croft, Peter Zwicker and John McGee bring a combined 23 years of experience to the council table. While Thom Barclay, Peter Mosher and Tyler Hayden are rookies on the political scene. The new council will gather for their first meeting next Tuesday night.
