I don't know how how far it 257 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:12,400 goes back, but it was an amazing turnout and I think it represents that people do 258 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:16,799 care about what we do here and it's important work and that we take it 259 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:21,360 seriously and I think folks also are really interested and is getting things 260 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:25,360 done. Um so I have a really really long agenda of things to get done um that I 261 00:20:23,919 --> 00:20:29,919 know that council is going to be extraordinarily helpful and supportive 262 00:20:27,039 --> 00:20:32,720 of. So um I'll stay tuned for all of those things coming up that need to get 263 00:20:31,414 --> 00:20:37,200 [cough and clears throat] done. Um, just as an aside, I did want to mention that 264 00:20:34,559 --> 00:20:43,840 we um [clears throat] did I did get a call today about a uh opportunity to 265 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:48,799 have a Civil War um historical marker placed here in New Cumberland. Um I met 266 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:54,240 an extraordinary gentleman through Judy and uh so uh hopefully we'll have 267 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:58,240 something for folks um to really commemorate for our 250th anniversary 268 00:20:56,799 --> 00:21:02,480 some of the other really cool things that have happened here. This gentleman 269 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:06,159 gave me a an extraordinary history of how important New Cumberland, Le Moine, 270 00:21:04,159 --> 00:21:09,760 Wormley'sburg, and Camp Hill were in the Civil War. So, it was a neat neat 271 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:16,120 experience and I think we'll have something here at Third and Bridge, I 272 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:16,120 hope.

I think this 276 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:38,480 will be good. Um I think coming on council was a pleasant 277 00:21:35,039 --> 00:21:44,400 surprise for me that uh it deviates from uh national politics. It's not the the 278 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:49,360 partisan nature I see there. So I don't think it it matters what uh side of the 279 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:52,240 aisle we were on on the ballot. I think uh it's always been constructive 280 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:57,919 thinking and looking at the problems that uh we face um as a town and a 281 00:21:55,039 --> 00:22:01,840 burrow and uh I don't think that there's going to be an issue with the with the 282 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:08,355 gang of people we have up here.
