Thanks to the Almanac for putting this article together. This kind of reflection gives a lot more context than the usual focus on one topic (often just the minutiae of one topic).

Although John and Heyward are obviously very different people, I thought they both served the city well, so thanks to them also. With all the mudslinging that can go on, it's sometimes surprising that people volunteer to be on the Council. Let's hope John and Heyward both stay involved in city affairs in a positive way.
