Police Cars a Shelter and Reducing Pollution
Wilkes-Barre’s honorary Fire Chief had a question for the Honorary Mayor.
“How many fire trucks are you gonna buy today?” asked Josh Thomas, a student at The Graham Academy.
By the end of the morning, Aiden Temple had “approved” the purchase of a new fire engine, 11 police cars, and 10 bicycles.
“We’re talking about $3.5 million,” Mayor George Brown told the 13-year-old boy who sat in his chair at City Hall.
Wednesday was the fifth year that Brown recognized The Graham Academy students, naming students honorary mayor, fire chief, police chief, and city council member. April is Autism Awareness Month.
“It’s a wonderful way to make it a special day for these great people and see what the future might be like,” Brown said. “I want to make sure that we promote autism awareness, and this is a wonderful way of doing that.”
