Join Thomas Elwood
Let me take the mystery out of what the duties and day-to-day responsibilities are of being mayor
Duty #1: Review the budget and pay all the bills
Duty #2: Fix the roads
Duty #3: Pick up the garbage on schedule & take care of local parks
Duty #4: Think about the future & review all department heads
Duty #5: Revisit duty #1
Five duties of a successful Mayor
Five red flags in a Mayor
1) We don't need a politician - Politicians create unrest & unrealistic expectations
2) We don't need a superhero - There's a reason Bruce Wayne is not the Mayor of Gotham
3) We don't need a cheerleader - That is the responsibility of the Chamber of Commerce
4) We don't need a celebrity
5)We don't need a Statistician / Liar - In the words of Mark Twain, "There are lies, damn lies, and statistics". Stats are made to mislead
