Additions to welcome signs?
At City Council Wednesday evening, Councilman Ed Shelton suggested that the City of Hamilton signs should bear the mayor’s name on them. Mayor Don Ryan wasn’t at the meeting; he was out of town.
Shelton’s argument was that lots of other cities have the mayor’s name on their welcome signs and that Ryan deserves it.
“I don’t think anybody sitting up here behind this area (where council sits) would say he isn’t one of the best mayors we’ve ever had,” Shelton said.
City Manager Mark Brandenburger will request the Hamilton Community Foundation to install such signs. Shelton suggested plaques that can be attached to the current signs. The signs will be removable and can be switched as new people become mayor.
What do you think? Should people know who Hamilton’s mayor is as they drive into town?

There Shelton goes wasting more money for signage of all things. Well at least this time it’s not because he’s pulling Furmons strings to get someone a job at the county. Hey Ryan, watch out soon you’ll be the goto guy for jobs since his county pull is drying up.
