Dear Colleagues:
After much thought and consideration, I wanted to share with each of you that I will seek to serve as President of Council. We are fortunate to have the right combination of energy, excitement, and expectation that must yield our best foot forward with new, bold, and innovative ideas.
My decision comes after a lot of thought and self-reflection. I am seeking to lead because I want to make sure our city takes full advantage of our momentum that residents can believe in. I’m fully committed to facilitating collective efforts to solve problems, while being a community champion, and fulfilling our greatest potential.
The future of our city is too important for microwave policy and passive leadership. I am positioned to lead effectively and inclusively. As President of Council, I will lead with the understanding that we ALL bring something to the table. And for Evansville’s best future, we have to rely on everyone’s strengths to best make our city an ideal place to live, work, and play.
There is too much work that must be done and there is no time to waste. These next four years will be pivotal as it relates to updating ordinances, revitalizing economically distressed areas, responsibly overseeing city finances, and simply ensuring our beloved city lives up to her fullest potential.
It is time to aim high and ensure our beloved city is in the best position to positively impact everyone! This is a new council and we should operate as such.
Humbly submitted,
Alex Burton

I thought they just took turns at being President. Mr Burton should wait a year. This is his first year on the council. I would think that he should watch the first year and get to know the policies of the council.
But,Good Luck if he is elected. Sounds like a big headache.
