Letter to the Editor: Doing Sidney right

Our community should be right proud of our city manager’s testimony before a US Senatorial audience recently. It sort of put our city in the national limelight for a short time and certainly a lot of the credit accrues to our own Gary Person.

I have known Gary since he first appeared on the scene as a reporter for the Scottsbluff Star Herald and have worked with him on many of his projects over the years. He has exemplified the traits that have identified those of vision and common sense which are more often seen in the midwest.

We are fortunate that he has not been lured away by other communities who have undoubtedly offered higher salaries and fringe benefits. He has chosen Sidney as his home and we are most appreciative of that.

Thanks Gary for all you have done for Sidney and the surrounding area and will do in the future. 

Again, we are proud of you.

C.J. Cornelius
