The Volusia County Council on Tuesday held its final meeting with its present lineup. Two new members will take their seats at the Jan. 7 meeting which will be the biggest change for the body since Ed Kelley was elected county chair in 2016.
As always in final sessions, this last go-around was emotional with several members still smarting from the election fights and defensive of their records. Going through this last campaign, began outgoing Council Member Deb Denys, the things that we do to serve you, you never know. And you never know what a family goes through, what they walk away from, what they endure, what they hear you ve been called, what they hear their mother called, what they hear their grandmother called, and they have to smile and take the high road.
