Grateful for service

Dear Editor:

I'm sincerely grateful for the service that Councilman Overman has provided to our city. His dedication will be greatly missed when he moves.

His resignation comes at a critical time in our city's future. It's wonderful that he will be able to vote on the water issue which he has spent so much time preparing for, but it is unfortunate that the timing could take away the opportunity for the citizens of McCook to select a replacement using the ballot November 5.

I hope that if we, the people, won't have the opportunity to vote on the replacement, at least the current council will choose to let the new council make the selection when they get on board.

Sincerely ,

Brenda McMurtrey

McCook
