WIREGRASS: This article is directed towards several.
First, if you were not re-elected in these past elections, I am sorry. But the registered voters elected you in the last election and you are in office until November. You owe it to the citizens you were elected by in the last election to serve each day until your term ends.
Some who lost this past election have quit, act as if you despise the community which elected you the past election because you were not re-elected. Your quitting before your term ends, not being the public servant you were elected to, to fulfilling your obligations shows you do not have any character.
RESIGN NOW if you are not going to do more than just get by.
Second, some of you lost election to a fellow council person or someone within the organization. And you have not spoken to the person the registered voters cast their vote for. GET OVER IT. You applied for a job and your employers selected another applicant. Congratulate them and do all you can do to help them hit the ground running day one. You have an obligation to the registered voters to do all you can do to help them hit person the registered voters have selected to take the torch and run to the next level.
GET OVER IT and show the character you demonstrated to the registered voters last election.
Third, to the Alabama Legislature. In County Commission elections, the current commissioners sit for one meeting following the election. And that meeting is to certify the election. They do not get a chance to blow the money or cause headaches for those taking the torch from you to run the race on the next level. The municipal offices, legislation needs to be updated where the positions change following the certification of the election.
Just because the registered voters decided to hire someone else, does not mean you have nothing to offer to the community. Government is not here for the people to serve but here to serve the people.
A large number of officer holders have forgotten they are to serve the people. The people are not here to serve the government. The Constitution reads “ WE THE PEOPLE ….”. Not the government is here to tell the people.
RISE UP, hold your chin high, and move to the next chapter of your life. You never know when GOD closes one door what HE has in store for you at the next door.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. Now rise up and be who you should be…
