“I would like to publicaly anounce that today I am retiring.”
Gasps & “No!”s rang though the crowd, but were quickly silenced when Jasper leaned forward to speak again. “Yes, I no this may come as a shock to u, as I have been mayor of Anchilore for 216 years. However, I feel the time has come 2 step down from my position. The process to find a new mayor is already underway, so the transition should hopefully go smoothly.” The press quickly hurried forward. “Jasper, wat prodded you to decide to retire from your post?” “Well, as much as I love our city, I realized that my time was up wen it came to overseeing it. I feel there is a need for fresh blood in the City Council, and Im sure that the new mayor wil care for the city and c to continuing its success as much as I did. I love this city, its buildings, its enviroment, but most of all, I love the people. & I believe that it is for the good of the people that I retire.” & then Jasper sat down, and for the first time in 216 years, he had sadness in his eyes.
