Our deepest appreciation and thanks go to the eight Saugatuck City Council candidates who agreed to “meet the voters” on Friday, October 9th, in a candid yet civil online forum hosted by the Rotary Club of Saugatuck-Douglas. For those who could not make it, we offer this LINK to view a recording of the event.

In an era of immature and dangerous hyper-partisanship that threatens to tear us all apart, we salute our local candidates who have stayed committed to the idea that running for office is the highest form of public service. The City of Saugatuck is blessed to have such competent and caring citizen-leaders. Thank you all.
