After humble farewells, the new City Commission gets to work.
The Royal Oak City Commission said goodbye to three outgoing members and welcomed three new ones during a Monday night meeting that was filled with thank you's and well wishes. Before the changing of the guard occurred, many people stepped forward to praise the service of commissioners Chuck Semchena and Terry Drinkwine and Mayor Pro-Tem Michael Andrzejak. Royal Oak resident Nancy Barnett, who spoke during Monday's public comment, said the three men would be truly missed. “I know you tried to do your best,” Barnett said. Of Drinkwine, she said, “Terry you are honest.

Residents were given free rein to submit …

I watched the forum, and it was disappointing. It seems that the hard questions were filtered out by the moderators, and too much time was spent discussing relatively trivial matters.
