In an interview, Mayor Barrow said he was happy to have Ms. Mor- ris back as City Attorney. He said, “She’s an excellent attorney who helped the city get started. She has a wealth of knowledge about munici- palities.” Of City Clerk Mark Miley, the mayor said, “He’s been on the job City Attorney City Clerk Admin.

He is a very fair per- son. He is responsible for code enforcement. It could be anything from having junk in your yard to failing to pay your occupational license. As magistrate, he has the power to levy fines in accordance with our ordinances. For example, suppose we get a call that someone has 10 junked cars in their yard and they are harboring rats. An inspec- tor goes out, meets with the proper- ty owner, and asks them to clean up the property. Normally, that solves the problem. If not, then there is the option to go before the magistrate.” At the Council meeting, the Council had the option to elect two Central Mayor Mac Watts with Sherri Morris Mark Miley, the late Phil Miley, and Mark’s sister Melissa people to the Central Planning and Zoning Commission from among a application period for anyone who filed he applied. list of applicants.

  • (PAC) Report 2001 – 2002
    Our Voice in the Political Process Learn which candidates Pfizer PAC supported in your community PFIZER PAC BIENNIAL REPORT 2001-2002 Pfizer is poised to do more for healthcare than any other company in history. Every day, state and federal governments make decisions that affect Pfizer and our business operations. Patent restrictions, importation, anti-DTC and marketing regulations, supplemental rebates and preferred drug lists are just a few examples of the challenges we are facing. With political decisions increasingly taking on greater importance, Pfizer needs to ensure that our voice is heard when officials consider crucial pieces of legislation. Your voice is a critical part of the policy debate that affects your company. As we have seen in past elections, each and every one of us plays a vital role in shaping our world, our environment and our communities – by taking the time to vote, whatever our political affiliation. By participating in Pfizer PAC you become a partner with Pfizer’s government affairs team to encourage positive change for the future. Your participation ensures that your voice – and Pfizer’s voice – is heard in the public policy arena. “Your help is sorely needed. While we can all take pride at being the leader in the pharmaceutical industry, we are not the industry leader when it comes to supporting candidates who value our industry. Eli Lilly and GlaxoSmithKline raise far more than Pfizer and have higher employee participation levels in their PACs. Our urgent goal is to increase the PAC from its current $1.3 million to $3 million for the next election cycle, and to raise employee participation rates from 10% to 25%.” Hank McKinnell Chairman & CEO, Pfizer Inc WHY DOES PFIZER NEED A PAC? Simply put, federal law prohibits corporations from making political contribu- tions to federal candidates.
