Remember the people elected you, not because they felt you.had all the right answers, but rather you had the ability to enact their wishes, even sometimes above your personal feelings. So I am retiring from the board but my interest in your activities remains the same. I wish you and our new Supervisor all of the best for the coming year and promise to run your Justice Court to the best of my ability. If I leave with one single wish, it is that you build on to what we have done, - go forward in your own way of course, remember that our mistakes die with us and you will have enough of your own to replace them. Worry not what we have done - make sure you go forward - the future of Lansing was never brighter - yours is the privilege to keep it the same. Thank you."
