“I would say that your service and the service alongside of everyone that has served over time is really commendable. When we drive around Vacaville and we see all the staff and the hard work and the smile on people's faces and are willing to drop anything and everything at all times, you'll be missed. And at least the legacy is as you know who you're leaving behind to continue the legacy and the work. So congratulations. Vice Mayor Silva.”

We don't always have to like the messages we hear, and that's not the point. It isn't for us in this moment to try and defend the position because then it becomes subjective, okay?
