LETTER TO THE EDITOR SUMTER NEEDS A NEW, FULL-TIME MAYOR TO LOOK TO THE FUTURE

Sumter 2040? The people of Sumter make Sumter what it is, good or bad. Many things need to change. We need a new form of government. We need a “strong mayor” form of government. We need a “full-time” mayor that can be held to account for Sumter. Today’s mayor is responsible for nothing ex- cept chairing the city council. The mayor seems to show up where there’s a camera present. He, like many of us, should run from any cam- era. We need to look at the future through the windshield, not the rear- view mirror.
