Former County Councilor 

I’m writing a quick note to give my heartfelt thanks and recognition to Councilor (Suzie) Havemann, she exemplified what an elected official should do and be tonight (Dec. 3, 2024, council meeting).

Yes, use your time to speak passionately and eloquently about an item you care deeply about. Then do the really  hard thing and listen to and vote as your constituents ask. I know better than most how hard this can be to do.

Regardless of the long term  outcome, I feel reassured knowing that I have a councilor who understands what government officials should be. I’m beyond thrilled to have one who is willing to act on those principles.

Thank you.
