How Brandon Burton sees a new year in city government

Brandon Burton draws on something that a former U-S cabinet member once said about government service.  Burton, Walhalla city administrator, referenced Robert Gates, former Defense Secretary, saying, “few if any individuals choose public service because they want to make life miserable for people or work for some hapless bureaucracy.”  Burton says, “This is something that I believe to be true; and in the upcoming year I wish to continue to work on myself to be a better servant to my staff and community.  If I am better, my community is better and my staff is better.  We all want unity and things to be better, but first that must all begin inside each of us.”
