I was excited for the event last night with Montgomery Mayor Todd Strange. Unfortunately, I was unable to make it, as we were celebrating my step-daughter’s birthday, but it sounds like Mayor Strange hit the right notes.
“Don’t bad mouth us. Sometimes we’re our own worst enemy,” Strange told the group of about 50. “We’ve got good things happening here. We need to celebrate the positive things.”
Strange rattled off numerous examples, from catching a baseball game at the Biscuits stadium to watching a play at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival to sitting on the porch at the Exchange.
Strange was speaking Monday night to members of both the River Region Democrats and the Capital City Young Republicans. The two groups met in the spirit of bipartisanship, which is an attitude Strange championed during his campaign and one he has brought with him to the mayor’s office.
I applaud the River Region Democrats and Capital City Young Republicans for planning the joint event and hope to see similar things in the future. I also applaud Mayor Strange for his willingness to reach out and listen to ideas and I think it bodes well for the city’s future.
