Steve Mackenzie, thank goodness Barre had the good sense to hire you as city manager. Please don’t get sick, or move away, or die, or quit. I cringe every time I hear “information” from Chris Maloney — extreme, outrageous and always negative — it’s a wonder he chooses to continue living here. You trumped anything Chris said with your less than colorful and way more powerful facts about city finances. Oh, yes, and most of all, never give up.
