Also Asst Chief Becerra is leaving 3 March 2022 and Animal Control Officer Alex Smith will be leaving on 4 March 2022.

I want to say thank you to the Officers and staff of the Police Department! You are the best and I know y’all were vested in this City and never cease to amaze me in what you do and how you do it.
I love y’all and cannot thank you enough for your service.

To the Citizens of Tye, thank you for the privilege and honor of serving you and getting to know you.

I need to have leadership I trust and their values must line up to what I hold true.

To Kenny Dry thank you for always being a stand up guy!

I wish you all the very best

Over a year ago this young Army soldier on his way home on leave stopped to provide first aid in a fatal crash on I-20. He was so important in saving one young man’s life.
We wrote his commanding general with his heroic efforts.
On Friday at 11:30 am he was presented his metal for heroism!
God bless you Sergeant First Class Donahue! Thank God for our service members!

There is a round bright object in that sky and the temperature is a breezy 54 degrees. Most of the snow has melted off and the roadways are clear.
The past four days have been packed with a lot of stuck semi trucks and cars. Many crashed vehicles and a lot of motor assists.
I want to thank our community for staying inside and abiding weather warnings.
A special thank you to our Officers who worked countless hours ensuring the safety of our community and visitors. It has been a long four days but again you all performed flawlessly. This community is truly blessed to have all of you. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your dedication and service to this city.
