“I’m happy when there are new faces on the city council. Not because I didn’t get along with the people who were there before. But I just think renewal is a good thing and it happens incrementally, election after election,” Tory said. « The bad news is that we have people with great experience who have left. The good news is that we have new people with new ideas. My approach has always been that anyone who wants to work with me, I will work with them. We have so much to do that everything is on the bridge.
