What a fine group of

What a fine group of candidates. Your finalist are an elite group and I don't envy your decision. Kilgore deserves a City Manager that keeps the city council informed at all times. He or she must remember who he works for above all. I know my husband, Ronnie Moore, always respected running his ideas by his boss. The new City Manager should do the same. As Ronnie always said, everyone has a boss. I hope the new city manager keeps that in mind. No man is an island. He can bring in new ideas, but the need to be discussed with the board before they go further. Sincerely, Mrs. Ronnie Moore
