I want to thank all the people that came out to support the FFA boys here with the La Porte School District. It was an outstanding program. They will have a play night April 9-10. I wouldn't always speak for the young people, but about 25 years ago, Lin was on my Little League Ball Club and he turned out pretty good. I appreciate the people getting out to vote. I think it was an outstanding turnout and congratulations to all of you. Longley: Mr. Mayor, I would like to welcome the new members to the hot seat. Matuszak: Mr. Mayor, I remember the first Council session Mr. Faris had last time, and he raised an issue about some side- walk repairs in our district. I'd like to see Mr. Hodge • resurrect that, or Mr. Owen, to see what the possibility of repair is. I urge everybody to vote in the next election.
