With regards to a potential decision by the Newton County Board of Commissioners to turn the downtown square over to the City of Covington, we are not talking about ownership. Instead, the issue would deal with just the management and maintenance of the square, the "rare jewel" that it is, as the hub for the entire county and as a downtown venue whereby it would be used to the benefit of "all," yes "all," the citizens of Newton County. As mayor, I want to see the square as the true focal point that it should be and can be and not destroyed or abused in anyway.
