My fellow citizens,
 I was disappointed to learn last night, I will not be serving you the next seven months as a member of city council. But it was an incredible honor to learn of the nearly two hundred voters that turned in support of my vision for our city. That success was all due to my family and the friends I have made over the last four months, campaigns are merely dreams without supporters and I had an amazing team! This campaigns end only marks the beginning of my advocacy on issues I feel paramount to the future of our city. It is a privilege to serve on the city’s public safety committee and I look forward to learning from the wonderful board members about issues facing Tega Cay in that arena. I will be moving forward with a proposal to council about the formation of an economic development committee, and will be enlisting community leaders to join me on this effort. The time is long overdue that Tega Cay get serious about supporting our business owners and developers. These are the people who make the biggest investment in our city and we need to make serious efforts to create a successful environment for them to grow at Stonecrest. I will fight tirelessly to see that Utilities Inc and its subsidiaries are removed as a water supplier in our community, anything less will be a failure for Tega Cay and an injustice to our citizens. I will also be advocating the permanent removal of tax anticipation notes from our municipal budget, we must start working with money we have and not borrowing to support the budget. Having said this, I feel our council is moving in a solid direction and feel hope springs from their fiscal conservatism on many matters. Public service is a privilege and I intend to serve our community for many years, although it would have been an honor to hold a seat on council, I do not need a title to share my blood, sweat, and tears for our city. I look forward to seeing you along the way and please let me know anything I can to do assist your efforts.

Respectfully,

Greg Rogers
