Our community is very upset and rightfully so. Some members of the Lebanon City Council are proposing to eliminate the city’s fulltime mayor position.

This proposal represents a significant change in the structure of city government.

It may be a change that is needed, but what bothers many is whether or not the change is being proposed for all the right reasons. Are those suggesting the change doing so with a pure heart?

Are they doing it because they genuinely want a better Lebanon or are they just trying to even a political score?

Is this an issue about what will make Lebanon better? Or is it an issue about petty politics?

This town doesn’t need a city manager. The truth be known, it may have too many city managers now.

What this town needs is harmony.

It needs, as one person suggested earlier this week, a few good statesmen who want to serve Lebanon in Lebanon’s best interest and not for their own personal agendas.
