Excited to share Mayor Randall Woodfin's recent interview with TIME magazine. "We have to do our work with great customer service. I bagged groceries as a kid, so I learned at age 15, nothing’s more important than taking care of the customer. Efficiency and effectiveness are very important core values because, with public tax dollars, we provide services in how we pick up trash, answer 9-1-1 calls, and maintain other infrastructure like sidewalks and streets. Those things have to be done in the most efficient way and the most effective way with public tax dollars. The transparency piece is easy too. It’s not my money, it’s the public’s. So what we do and how we do it should be overtly transparent. The accountability piece feeds back into all four of the other core values. We hold ourselves accountable internally and externally. We are responsible for how we show up and we’ve got to be held accountable." - Mayor Randall Woodfin #PuttingPeopleFirst
