Meet Chief Scott
On Monday, I was proud to stand with my fellow City Council members and introduce the people of Columbia to a man who I am confident will take our Police Department from Good to Great, Interim Chief of Police, Randy Scott.

2010 Mayor’s Campaign Against Breast Cancer
Isabel Law Breakfast
I am proud to announce that the Mayor’s Campaign Against Breast Cancer’s Annual Isabel Law Breakfast was a huge success this year.
We sold approximately 475 meals and received a number of additional donations to bring this year’s grand total to $4,981.75 for Bosom Buddies proving once again that we live in a wonderful and caring community.
I want to thank everyone who came out early Friday morning and pitched in to support this great cause, especially the Public Works employees who arrived at 4:00 a.m. to cook up a wonderful breakfast.
It’s important that we each do our part for wonderful groups like Bosom Buddies who need our support. It’s also important to realize that the need doesn’t end with breakfast.
Call 803-434-7275 to find out how you can help Bosom Buddies any time of year.
