GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ)- The city of Green Bay will experience a fresh start with five new Alderpersons taking seats on the council.
Change can be a good thing, but when it comes to the Green Bay City Council, Alderperson Bill Galvin said the change may be needed.
“It is obvious that the voters have spoken. There has been quite a bit of media around our council the last year, and I think the voters have made a statement of where they want change.”
That’s what the voters did, unseating three current Aldermen, including Guy Zima and Council President Tom De Wane.
“I think it is always good to introduce new blood, new ideas, new thoughts. There were some surprises in the election.”
Galvin said one key decision will be who they elect as Council President.
“Someone that we can all turn to if we have questions or concerns or issues with what is going on.”
Galvin said the Council has had some negative attention, and he feels the voters decisions will give the city a chance to focus on issues important to the city.
“When that turns into petty backstabbing tactics, then it is obviously a detraction for all of us, and it takes away from our community.”
He says that was what happend, and the election was the result.
“Should be a reality slap to everyone in politics that the position that they have is not a right.”
