    Phillip Lilley, Clinton's Public Works Director, has intentionally worked to influence the culture within the City of Clinton's Public Works Department. He talks on how building leaders internally have had a direct impact on the efficiency of the department. He shows that it's more than fixing pipes or laying asphalt. It works around trust and taking pride in your work.

    Ford Hayman, Clinton's longtime police chief, allowed me to visit him and ask a few questions about his department's approach to policing the Clinton community. With his focus on serving others and treating people the right way, he's proven to be a quality leader inside the Clinton Police Department.  In this episode, we talk trends in policing, community relations, technological advancement and challenges the future holds.  He's truly one of my favorite guys on the beat (no pun intended) and an asset to our community.

    For the longest time, I told my wife, Megan, that we should record one of our conversations during one of our many road trips. So, during a recent road trip to New Orleans with my wife, we did just that. We talked about the past 17 years of marriage, about what we'll miss from the previous chapters of our attempts at being parents and what we're looking forward to in the next few chapters down the road.  I'm hoping this is just the first edition of Words with the Wife, so enjoy!

    For February, we're looking at what we put our hope and trust in. It's easy to say, as a good, strong person, that we don't put too much trust in things "things" that are fragile, but we find ourselves grasping for straws when things fall apart.

    I'm willing to bet there are a good many people who don't fully understand "taxes." So, I talked with Nathan Cummins, a CPA who has also served as President of the Clinton Chamber of Commerce and who has formal training in taxes. I, for one, could always learn more about how the money business of government works, so I asked him to talk about taxes in the Michael Scott format: "Explain it to me like I'm 5."

    At the December 4 work session, I brought up the possibility of only having one work session a month instead of having two like we have for the past couple of years. Here are a few thoughts on why I believe one work session a month is worthwhile (and why holding a second when needed is still an option).

    Minding Our Own Habits

    How often do we give into the habit of (adjacently) throwing in our two-cents when someone else is going through an issue? We're quick to give advice but extremely slow to heed our own words. Too often, those on the outside-looking-in like to show off how much they know and how much their advice is worth. But how often do we find ourselves being "those people?" What would happen if we intentionally changed our habits instead of passively criticizing so many?

    It's important for elected officials and citizens to recognize the relationship that exists between them. In order to enact change and properly govern an entity, there has to be a healthy form of communication. That starts with constituents contacting their elected official, and the elected official listening.
