Well, we have hit another Thursday. It seems like such a short time since Thanksgiving Day. One of the things I have felt real gratitude about over the years has been the opportunity I have had to work with amazing leaders during my career. I thought I would share a quick Facebook post I did a year ago expressing appreciation for all I learned from 10 mayors and a governor with whom I have worked closely. Pictures in the post include Governor Mike Leavitt and Mayors Irene French, Wayne Kimber, Glenn Mecham, Matt Godfrey, Lewis Billings, John Curtis and Michelle Kaufusi. I tried but couldn't find a photo of the first Mayor in my city manager career Willard Pence or Dick Berkeley in Kansas City.

Officers were looking for a rape and robbery suspect and located him around 10 pm, with an infant inside the SUV he had been driving. After negotiations, he released the baby and after more than hour, he finally exited the vehicle and began shooting at the officers who returned fire. The baby was unharmed.
