Over the years I have worked with some of these Council members on different issues. There are some that I thought didn't represent their Ward, while others did so with knighted honor. Those that missed or will miss 1/4+ of the meetings should always take the honorable road and step down. A special thank you to Emilio L Navarro for all that he did during the Cullion Concrete Plant fight & putting in the $6K Conservation Bond for me. The many groups of us that worked hard on this were pivotal along with Emilio's championing this for Cranston! A special thank you to Jim Donahue for Dyslexia insight and helping with some Special Education issues. Finally, thank you to Tony Lupino for taking on a difficult job at Council President. His comments in an outgoing statement in the Herald clicked with me. I am grateful to him for his help on the flooding, Conservation Plan and Cullion Concrete. I'm sure there are many other areas I am grateful for, mostly for the insight for that which we didn't agree on. Many of our elected positions are taken because we want to change our City for the better, unfortunately there comes a time when it becomes very stressful and seemingly thankless and often criticized. I have always email Council President Lupino and received an immediate response with a black & white answer or guidance. We totally didn't agree with everything, but like he shared with me this quote...which is perfect "There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor political, nor popular, but he must take it because his conscience tells him it is right" ~ Martin Luther
