With his first full year in his office well under his belt, Mr. Mayor has made a name for himself for his folksy yet focused manner of running the biweekly Council meetings, once known for their shambolic, meandering nature. Always ready with a quip, often self-deprecating, nonetheless DeLoach likes the meetings to run smoothly and the votes to come fast and furious. Being elected mostly on a crimefighting platform, DeLoach can point to the full-staffing of the police department for the first time in literally decades as a fulfillment of a campaign promise.
