We are thrilled with the outcome of the recall vote of John Shepherd and Mary Peters. This election has been a long time coming for the people of Gardner.
The City of Gardner has been through a lot these past 4 years. We disagree on a lot of issues and those opinions run deep and they can run loud. We understand the recall of John and Mary has made many unhappy and we respect those opinions, we hope those who disagree with the recall will respect the opinions of those who supported the recall.
Now the responsibility of appointment of these two city council positions is in the hands of Mayor Drovetta. This is a great opportunity for the Mayor to attempt to mend some fences in the community. We want and expect a transparent government; we want to know what is going on with our city. As citizens of Gardner we all expect the same ethical standards from Mayor Drovetta and other city council members as we expected from John and Mary.
We appreciate the support of so many members of the community that put forth their good names, their time, money, land, businesses, and efforts to make this happen. With the recall election behind us, and the voice of the people heard, we hope that the parties involved on both sides can come together in an effort to find common ground and work for the betterment of the City as a whole.
Thanks
