PLATTSBURGH â The new Ward 1 city councilor says, "the need for change," led him to take on the role with the Plattsburgh City Common Council.
"I've just come to the conclusion that Plattsburgh is going down the wrong way and that there is nothing here long-lasting for legacy," Jaime Canales told the Press-Republican.Â
"Since I live here and my daughters matter to me, I want to do the best that I can to ensure that all children here, all of their lives matter and that they have a good system of support. . ."
APPOINTMENT
The Ward 1 seat was previously held by Ira Barbell, whose three-year term started about a year ago on Jan. 1, 2020.
