I believe I could work within the parameters of either method. I do know that due to professional and family commitments, it is difficult to get everyone together at one time. It would seem that informal meetings might work best due to that factor. I'm definitely for better streets. However, there is no responsible way to determine this issue without looking at the needs of all departments and the budget.
Annexation is almost certain to be an issue facing the next council and mayor.
I believe that growth of the city is imperative. In order for this to happen, annexation is inevitable. I appears evident that growth would be to the north or east of Tupelo. I would hope that any annexation would be amicable between the city and the area annexed. The issue will likely come up again in the next four years.
