If you missed Mayor Jackson's important announcement at City Council, here is a short version. The full press release will be in the Weekend edition of the Harrison Daily Times.
From my heart …
After much reflection, prayer, and conversation with my family, I have decided not to seek re-election as Mayor. This was not a decision made lightly. While my primary focus between now and the March 3 primary election will be reminding Harrison voters to approve the continuation of the two taxes, while keeping Harrison City's sales tax among the lowest in cities of similar size and population.
I see no reason to delay sharing my decision. Making it public now will give others ample time to consider their own plans and make announcements if they choose.
Serving as your mayor has been one of the greatest honors of my life. I have done my best to approach this office the way I believe our community expects its leaders to serve — by showing up, listening, working hard, and keeping the long-term good of our community at the center of every decision. I am proud of what we have accomplished together, and I am deeply grateful to you for entrusting me with this responsibility.
I want to express my sincere gratitude to our City Council, city employees, department heads, first responders, volunteers, and community leaders. You serve this city with heart, and it has been an honor to work alongside you. To the citizens of Harrison, thank you for your support and for the accountability that makes public service meaningful.
Our city is strong, and I believe our best days are ahead. I will continue to support the future of this community in every way I can. Thank you for the honor of serving as your Mayor.

Please read and understand how Public Works plans to maintain our streets and your neighborhood. COO Wade Phillips said at the Council meeting that the expected snow and temperatures could be so cold that the street salt might not melt it. So some areas may have to wait for some sunshine plus city salt. Stay home if possible!
The City Council's Saturday meeting scheduled at Creekside for Saturday morning has been postponed.
A warming shelter is available at 1101 Radio Ave. at the former Gibson Office Supply building.
This informal meeting with Council members will be rescheduled.
