Editor’s note: Here’s a collection of quotes harvested from the front pages of the Greenfield Recorder in 2020. This is the first of two installments.
■“There is a hunger I believe, not just in Greenfield but across the county, for leaders to work together with a common purpose and for the common good, each respecting each other’s roles and responsibilities toward our work and to achieving our accomplishments. This is what I pledge to do as your mayor, as the oath states, ‘faithfully and to the best of my abilities.’” Mayor Roxann Wedegartner at her Jan. 2 inauguration.
