Citizens voice opinion on Eustace mayor

“I am personally making a stand to support our town, and support our mayor, and I challenge each of you to search in your souls, and don't cast that first stone.”

Some came to cast rhetorical stones at their mayor, calling for her ouster, or her resignation. via Athens Daily Review

The poor people of our town, who is going to do something about this thing called the mayor? Does she get to be known as OUR mayor even after she was arrested for putting a young woman in the hospital, not to mention that she was charged with the very same thing in 05,only 2 yrs ago!! I urge all citizens to get involved to clean up this TRASH! And disregard the one person who supports her and all she stands for. They must have the same GREAT morals and ethics as laura ward does. And thats the problem,hello people the mayor has none and has proved it all on her own!

I grew up in Eustace my whole life. I have never been so ashamed by my hometown as I am now. The mayor is making a joke of the citizens of Eustace and the Eustace folks are allowing it. I have known the mayor's husband since we were in elementary school. I have even spent time with the mayor and her husband Jack, in the recent past. The Ward's have the morals and ethics of a slug, which is, NONE!! The drinking and fighting is the lesser of her evils. Ever heard of the "Swinger's Club"?

How funny things work in small towns! It really is a sad day when the mayor of eustace can attack and beat a woman nearly to death,but nothing happens to her. WHY is this woman still mayor??? Obviously she has a name for herself after she was charged with the same thing in 2005 and not convicted,the woman in that event suffered a broken pelvis,and now charged with the very same thing ONLY 2 yrs later to a young mother at a bar of all places!!! What was she doing in a bar instead of taking care of our town or her children..There are alot of things the mayor could be doing for this town,and spending time in a bar and attacking people are not on the list... I sure hope when its time to vote the people of eustace stand against her and things of this nature coming from public officials!!!
