Myrna Leija says, ‘since my appointment I have been listening and learning’
Editor’s note: Opinions expressed in this letter to the editor are those of the author alone and do not reflect the editorial position of ClarkCountyToday.com

I want to publicly thank the La Center City Council for giving me the opportunity to serve on the council in Position No. 4.
Since my appointment I have been listening and learning. The most common topic from citizens is the issue of police services. The council is working diligently on this now. During every council session there is time for public comment in person, by video or in writing.
Please do not hesitate to express your concern on any city issue. In addition, each councilor can be emailed.
September 20, the mayor, Tom Strobehn did another Q & A session at La Center City Hall.
Transparency and involved citizens will help make La Center a better and safer place to live.
