Ruston needs a mayor. The town newsletter has the invitation front and center this month. There was no deadline mentioned in the announcement. The appointment would be for a little over a year (until the end of 2009) when the mayor's seat and the majority of the council (3 seats) are up for election. Anyone interested in the position should send their resume and letter of interest to the town hall at 5117 N. Winnifred Street.
This is an important role for our community. With thick skin, clear vision and open communication, a mayor could do a great deal to lead Ruston forward. Let's all hope and pray someone with those characteristics will step forward to serve soon.
Those are my thoughts. What are yours? What characteristics do you think would be most important for this role? What are the primary things that need to change in order to encourage the best and brightest among us to step forward?
