Mayor Paul took to Facebook to thank the community for attending the swearing-in and offered remarks about his new found role. “I am deeply honored and grateful that, as a community, you have allowed me to be your Mayor for this upcoming year. We are going to continue doing well this year,” said Darcy. “I see my role as keeping the discourse civil, and being open about the various factors affecting our decisions.”
