Code of Ethics

Ward I,
Just to give you an update, the council passed unanimously, "A Resolution Establishing a Code of Ethics for Elected and Appointed Officials." It's a document that I talked with Councilman Z Thomas about previously.

A Code of Ethics will not make a difference overnight, but it will place a check on public officials who use their office for private gain, or do not go by the spirit and the letter of the law.

I hope this Code of Ethics will act as a long-term benefit for the City of Guthrie. I appreciate Councilman's Thomas' efforts!

John Wood,
Councilman, Ward I
