Mayor Osborne, Thank You

I was surprised to open today’s newspaper and read that Mayor Osborne is resigning as our mayor effective June 1st. Apparently, due to health problems and his editorial duties at the Decatur Tribune, which often posed conflicts with his mayoral obligations, he felt the need to step down as mayor. I don’t think people fully appreciate the pressures of the job and what little compensation our mayor receives for the countless hours he/she is forced to spend on city issues. I’m looking forward to reading what he really thinks of city issues in the Decatur Tribune – I’m sure he’s looking forward to that freedom too! I just wanted to take this time to thank Mayor Osborne for his service to the community and wish him well!
