Community Input– City Administration Position President Biden’s 2 year old German Shepard, Commander, has shown 12 acts of aggression including several biting incidents while living at The White House. This is the second dog Biden has brought to the White House that has bitten people repetitively, including secret service agents. If anyone else’s dog did a fraction of that it would be put down immediately. I’m pretty sure our children wouldn’t be shown grace in the law system for some things Hunter has done either. It must be hard to run a country efficiently when you can’t even keep your dogs under control. Something to think about. **************** This week popular tattoo artist and previously outspoken witchcraft and macabre enthusiast, Kat Von D, officially renounced her former beliefs and was baptized as a Christian in an Indiana Church. We will see if some of these new celebrities devoting themselves to such practices recently, take notes as to why such a formerly devout follower would convert to Christianity.

This week, a community member wrote to The Howe Enterprise on a topic that involves every member of this Community and the future of Howe. Letters from the community to The Howe Enterprise are appreciated, thank you to this community member for the following submission: Ashley, The council will be interviewing city managers shortly. I believe the citizens of Howe should be making their wishes known so that the council, as Joe Shepherd pointed out, who were elected by the people, can represent the wishes of the city of Howe. How can the council represent the people if the people do not make their needs known? What do the people of Howe want in their next city manager? Is it someone already working for the city or a total new point of view? Would it be an experienced city manager as Howe has many needs and growth opportunities in the immediate future? Would it be a candidate with no city manager experience but just leadership in some type of administration city or private sector? I believe if the questions above were answered it would be a great source of information for the council. -Anonymous Community Member Many citizens are busy with their everyday lives and do not know how the administration in a town they reside in effects their quality of life. Many may wonder- How does the City Administrator’s job and duties impact citizens and daily life in Howe?
Check out just in the last month in the “What’s New In The City” Column what all the City Administrator Interim does on a daily basis to affect the workings of The City. The City of Howe is run by departments, including Economic Development, the Courts, Police Department, Fire Department and Public Works. The City Administrator is responsible for the operation of each Department and often for communicating between the citizens’ needs and requests and the Departments that handle the issues that arise. The position of City Administrator directly affects each citizen and their everyday life in the City of Howe. The City Administrator job is not a position that is voted on by the public, but as the community member wrote in to say this week, the council was voted in to represent the needs and wants of the citizens. You all are the citizens, to make your needs and desires for what you would like to see in your next City Administrator known through this avenue of the local newspaper, please write in by sending the editor an email at ashley@howeenterprise.co m.
