It's exciting — it's a little bit scary — to be sitting in the mayor's spot, but we'll move forward together, and hopefully as we start to debate and start to discuss issues, we'll grow as a team and we'll become a better team to serve our community, because that's what it's all about. We're not sitting here, as you all know, to glorify our own selves, but to glorify our city as the capital city, and to make us the best we can, and to help our brothers, and even sisters, in Southeast Alaska to be able to move forward also.
