Huntington Mayor Steve Williams delivered
the State of the City address Friday and discussed several points he his hoping
to achieve throughout the year.
One point Williams made was he and the
city council are not proposing any tax or fee increases to balance the budget. Also,
Williams stressed the importance of beautifying Huntington and cracking down on
slum landlords. The unhealthiness of the area was also addressed during the
speech. “We have the opportunity to go from worst to first,” Huntington Mayor Steve
Williams said on Huntington’s unhealthiness. Williams also stated he wanted
Huntington to be the example that other cities looked to when needing to
address an issue, not be the butt of the joke.
Williams began his speech by sticking to
the typed version that was handed out and appeared flustered. However as the
speech went on he didn’t stick to the order on the handout and seemed more
comfortable.
As Williams discussed several points the
crowd cheered and clapped.
