Funny, after we reported this, the Ledger put it on the top of their saying it is "a day after word leaked that he was in line for a City Hall post." Uh, Ledger, that word leaked out -- to us -- two weeks ago. We just didn't report it until it was actually *confirmed*. In other words, y'all were the last to know.

I've watched this young man for a number of years. He is definitely someone to be proud of and I applaud Mayor Johnson for the appointment of Sean Perkins.
