Hay for President

Stephan Hay was elected president of the City Council this morning, as was generally expected.

Some folks aren't big Hay fans. I like him. There must be some reason he got the nod from his colleagues.

I'll say this, Hay has some big shoes to fill. Tom Conry did about as well as could be expected for a council president. He was on the ball, available, listened, and ran a tight ship. At mid-term, this council looks significantly better than the council(s) before it. Hay will have to keep the council moving in the right direction, as aid cuts, Unitil, and other horror shows pop up in the next year.
