Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you our newest member of City Council, Melissa Noriega.

I wasn't there for the swearing-in or the Council meeting that followed, but I trust that by now someone has asked Council Member Noriega her position on the all-important Dr Pepper question. How that managed to avoid being a campaign issue, I'll never know.

Just kidding. Stace has more on her oath-taking. Congratulations, Council Member Noriega!
