by Sharon Lint - During last night's regular meeting in City
Council Chambers, the Ketchikan Charter Commission began work
discussing the need to draft a reply to the Responsive Brief
to the 2004 Consolidation Petition filed by the City of Ketchikan,
as well as to written comments received by Roy Eckert, Ketchikan
Gateway Borough (KGB) Manager, and Bob Weinstein, Mayor of the
City of Ketchikan.
Determined to keep the process
a positive one, Commissioner Dennis McCarty voiced the need for
a spirit of cooperation for all, saying, "This [Consolidation]
is a good idea. Let's make it work. This is not an adversarial
situation. This is not an "Us or Them." It's "Us
and Our Future." - More...
