A municipality like Monroe needs to operate like a well-oiled machine to meet the needs of its populace. It starts at the top with a mayor supported by a city council representing the community's needs at city hall. Success requires these entities to work together, akin to "one hand washing the other". However, the lifeblood of any municipality is the workforce that keeps it running 24 hours a day—the individuals we see daily performing their jobs. Often taken for granted, these frontline employees are always there when calls for service are m...

Later on in life, I had two girls, and I taught them to pray. Above all things that I've taught them,...
