The second week has wrapped up, and things are starting to stir. The House sessions have been relatively brief again this week since bills have not yet come out of committee to be debated on the House floor.
Ticket sales for the St. James Chamber of Commerce Annual Dinner and Awards Ceremony are brisk, as RSVPs are needed by Thursday, Jan. 19 for the dinner. Attendees do not have to be a member of the Chamber to attend. Tickets may be purchased at the St. James Tourist Center at a cost of $30 each. RSPVs can also be called into the Tourist Center at 265-6649.
Not too long ago, I was leaving my office at about 11:30 p.m.
The transition of authority in the office of St. James’ city clerk, brought on by the retirement of longtime City Clerk Marilyn, went off without a hitch last week. Sarah Wheeler, our new city clerk, presided at last week’s meeting of our City Council on Tuesday, her first day in office. If you haven’t had the opportunity to meet Sarah, I encourage all residents to stop by and welcome her to our community.
Taxes are generally my mortal enemy. I don’t like paying them. Not one bit.

St. James needs you to get involved. Help make our city a better place.
