Litchfield Ward 3 Alderwoman Kassidy Payne's time on the City Council is drawing to a close. She reflected on her seven years on the council with a statement. 

"Serving on city council is quite the roller coaster ride. There are ups and downs, goals and victories you get to accomplish as a team and hurdles that you tackle together. It's been my honor to serve the community in this way for the last 7 years, and I'm thankful for all the projects I was able to be a part of during my terms. I love my community and want to see it grow and thrive. It's time to turn over the reigns and I wish my replacement alderperson the best of luck in continuing our ongoing projects and starting new ones. Thank you to everyone who supported me and encouraged me during this time, and I want to give a special thank you to Tonya Flannery who was an amazing mentor and role model for me."
