Today is Inauguration Day for Jersey City’s Mayor and City Council. To our outgoing Mayor and City Council I wish you well in your new endeavors & thank you for your service to the citizens of our City. I especially would like to thank Ward D Councilman Bill Gaughan who retires from a 20 year career of dedicated service to Heights’ residents. To Michael Yun our new Ward D Councilman, I look forward to working with you as we have in the past. The work you’ve done for many years supporting neighborhood organizations will lay a firm foundation for moving us forward in the next four years. You are certainly starting off on the right foot by hiring Willow Latham as your aide! I met Willow through her Dad, Steven, in 2003 when he formed the Jersey City Reservoir Preservation Alliance. Even at that young age, Willow was an integral part of our team. She exhibited a real passion for the environment and true dedication to our cause. As a teenager, she took the initiative and helped to form the student volunteer group Sustaining Architectural Vitality in the Environment (S.A.V.E) and was instrumental in coordinating student volunteers for Reservoir Alliance events and the Landmarks Conservancy Annual Preservation Awards Ceremonies. During the last several years I have seen Willow develop into a mature and conscientious young woman. As a 2013 graduate of Harvard University majoring in Environmental Science and Public Policy, she will be a wonderful asset to you and your constituents. What a wonderful statement for the Heights that the best & brightest we have has chosen to start her career path right here at home! Feeling very fortunate today!!
