When the press comes calling, he/she's supposed to be the one to answer.
When there's a ribbon to be cut, or a proclamation to be made, he/she's the person.
After all, the Mayor is the only one of the 7 to get their own office in City Hall.
Well, Steve Rosansky's year as Mayor is coming to a close. As you can see by the silly poll above, it's been a good year to be Mayor...
He started off the fireworks by announcing at the Mayor's Dinner (held by Speak Up Newport and Debra Allen) that he had changed his mind about the location of City Hall and that City Hall should be placed behind the Library, on land which was previously dedicated as Parkland.
I think Debra Allen's head exploded (yes, figuratively) during Mayor Rosansky's speech...
He then continued by the War of Words between him and Councilman Keith Curry.
That was fun.
And now the "Conflict of Interest" issues with the Sober Living/Rehab Home issues, which were more Rumors and Accusations than truth (Yes, I believe that while Mayor Rosansky had some "apparent" mis-steps, he had NO CONFLICT OF INTEREST)
He's been a busy Mayor, but I think he's done a good job overall in a tough non-election year.
Just imagine if the Mayor post was an elected one...
