Mitchell urged unity and transparency during the process.
“What we need at this moment is for our leadership to be on one accord and to spc4ik with one voice," said Mitchell. “What we need is a true commitment and clear extermination that all viable options are still on table. What wc need is a transparent process, open communication and accountability including focusing on the long term future of our children and community."
Mitchell addressed some calls to expedite talks on possible annexation with Marshall because of a grant application deadline of Dec. 22.
“Wc cannot allow a
