Earlier today I was in a communications seminar and the presenter asked the participants (there were about 75 in this Zoom class) "What is your town's perception of local government?" The image is a screenshot of the most common responses: lazy, overpaid, inefficient, etc. I thought to myself "Wow, I don't think this is how St. George residents feel about their town staff at all!"
Later in the class there was a breakout session: "What would your response be if a staff person's mistake in mixing some floor cleaning chemicals caused an evacuation." My answer was vastly different from the other participants in my session. One of them was a woman from a nearby town. She said to my group "Bill works in St. George, and St. George is the kind of community everybody wishes they had. In St. George, everybody has each other's back."
Thank you for being a great town, St. George. The quality of the citizenry here is top notch, and at least one other town administrator has noticed.

EDIT: DOG HAS BEEN RETURNED TO OWNER.
Have you lost your black lab? Dylan Benner has a friendly old dog he picked up trying to cross the road in Tenants Harbor. He thought he knew the owner, but it turns out it's not their dog. Sadly, there are no tags on the dog. If your dog is lost, let the town office know, and we'll connect you with Dylan. Also, it's time to get your dog registered. A simple dog registration would have allowed us to look up this dog's owner and make contact. Anyway, be a law abiding dog owner and get your dog registered please.
