Congratulations to Gregutt

Dear Editor,

Congratulations to Karen Gregutt for being selected to fill the vacant seat on the Waitsburg City Council for the remainder of the current term.

Community members in attendance at the September 15 special City Council meeting to interview candidates learned there was a field of qualified candidates who voluntarily put their names in the running for the vacant seat. The information and answers provided by those candidates made the choice that much more difficult for the existing council members.

One of the themes in answer to a question asked was Waitsburg needs to broaden its tax base by attracting new business. You may have connections/contacts unknown to others which could be beneficial toward that endeavor. Be part of the solution by helping your elected officials find ways to make Waitsburg’s downtown as vibrant as in the past. Open store fronts with employees selling products will help support our schools and city infrastructure.

Again, congratulations Karen.

Jim Davison
