Breaking News - Teresa Barth plans to retire at the end of this term and will not run for mayor. I understand her decision, Im grateful for her service and her friendship, and I will miss her steady, thoughtful, inclusive leadership. From her newsletter today: After months of discussion with friends and family, I have decided not to run for re-election. When I first ran in 2006, I said two terms (8 years) were appropriate for local office. However, the addition of a voter elected Mayor added a twist to my previous position. While many people have encouraged me to run for Mayor, I stand by my original commitment to my family and the voters to only serve two terms. My most sincere thanks to the many people who supported me these past eight years. I am especially grateful for those who continued to support me even when we disagreed on individual issues. Thank you for not resorting to the inflammatory rhetoric that currently pervades public discourse. Additionally, I have an opportunity to work with an enthusiastic group of people involved in creating a non-partisan alliance for positive civic engagement. I believe I can be a more effective as a private citizen rather than an elected official. I will share more with you as the project moves forward. For the remaining 8 months of my term I will continue to be actively engaged in the issues of importance to the community. Gratefully, Teresa
