Tommy Smith (l) Don Holton (r)
Tommy's departure is a gigantic loss to our City. Something went seriously wrong for the Mayor to lose such a qualified Director. I know and respect Tommy. He's an amazing person and worthy of so much more than valuing him solely for his actions of inclusion. B. Yoder
