“Change” is often at the root of a political campaign. It’s often needed. We’re less than two weeks away from the installation of a new Linden City Council and a new Demopolis City Council.

Not surprisingly, both the leaders-elect are promoting change. Change can be for the good and it can be for the bad. It depends on what side of the fence your on.

We have full confidence in Mike Grayson and Mitzi Gates and their visions of a better city.

We know some of their decisions may be difficult and may some appear controversial but we trust they will enter their offices with open minds and wide-open eyes which will allow them to become effective leaders.
