letter to the editor

Dear Editor:

Thank you to the citizens of Albany for your support last week during the unprecedented winter weather event and the conditions that resulted from the extreme cold. The heroes are numerous as a city faces such challenges!

Billy Holson led Albany through this time with knowledge and determination. All of the city’s employees, along with many others, worked alongside Billy 24 hours a day to keep the water and electricity on.

Countless hours were spent in freezing, miserable conditions.

I also want to thank our firefighters, EMS, law enforcement, health care workers, grocery workers, and others who continued to meet the needs of our residents through those icy days. The support and prayers of this community are unfailing!

Please remember all those who are still faced with challenges throughout Texas.

Albany, Texas is the best place to live, with the greatest citizens, and that was very apparent once again during this ordeal. Thank you!

Susan Montgomery

Albany Mayor
