Transition started in Westminster

In last week’s election, all incumbent candidates in Westminster lost re-election.  It means a new mayor and three new council members for the Oconee municipality.  A transition has already begun.  Mayor-elect Brian Ramey met for about four hours yesterday with Mayor Rick McCormick, City Administrator Jeff Lord, and Councilman and Mayor Pro-tem Bill Brockington.  Before the start of last night’s council meeting, Brockington said he was encouraged by yesterday’s meeting with Ramey.  And after last night’s meeting, Ramey predicted good things ahead for his city.
