Well on the long list of different hats that Greg wears is Francis Town Councilman. Last year when a spot opened up on the council he decided to run and was appointed to take the place of a member who was leaving. So this year he has to be elected and what an experience it has been so far. There are 3 spots open on the council , a 4 year and a 2 year, and 6 candidates including Greg running. Our friend and neighbor Tim Butikofer is also running. Greg is running for a 4 year spot and Tim a 2 year so they aren't running against each other which is good. There have been some very controversial issues that the town and the council have had to face lately mostly because of the new development that is coming to the area. Greg has come home from some of the monthly meetings and said that they have been quite heated. But I think he loves every minute of it! Part of what he taught at Morgan was government. So he is actually practicing what he preached for so long. The election is on Tuesday the 6th and we are very much anticipating the results. I think he has done a great job so far as council member and he definitely has my vote. If he has it his way, this term as council member is only a stepping stone till he can be elected Francis Town Mayor in the future. I can't wait to be 1st lady!
I told him as he was putting up his signs he
needed to get into it and wave to people as they drove by.
Give 'em a wink and a smile. Maybe kiss their baby.

Okay, I have said this before and I will say it again. I want to live in a town that Greg Averett is a counsel man for. Good luck tomorrow! You are a great person for the job. If only more people had the commitment to civic duties that you have. I am proud of you and hope for the best. I wish I could vote in Francis tomorrow, never the less I will be voting.
