PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS

December has been an eventful month for the Government, and for the server as a whole. It has also been a testament of the West Administration's ability to keep a stable Cabinet, which I believe we have succeeded in. Following the unfortunate resignation of Technofied as Treasurer, Zab was nominated to the position of Treasurer and has brought a newfound outlook within the Department. We managed to get things back on track in the DEC almost instantaneously, and I am proud of the hardwork our Cabinet has put in delivering reliability, transparency, and progress.

The Department of Public Affairs, has been, arguably, the most important department for this month. DPA Secretary Muffins has done a fantastic job in providing many festive events, including skin competitions, house decorating competitions, secret santas, snowball fights, a new years party, and much more. However, the rest of the Cabinet has also played a major role in keeping the server fun, engaging, and the Government reliable. The DCT's festive decorations around the city, and new pit-stops at towns, new train stations, as well as many other changes have been essential to keeping our infrastructure up to date. The work of the DOJ in keeping a lawful and trustful police force has continued to amaze us, even in this month. The wonderful work of the DOH during the cold weathers of some places on the server have also been helpful to the people.

Additionally, Cabinet has decided on the Mayor for Town A, the farming town, deciding upon Vanquish_ap, whom has decided on the name of Willow. All of Cabinet has unanimously supported this decision, and communications between towns and the federal Government have continued to remain effective thanks to our State Secretary, Austin27. Furthermore, after authoring the bill to formalize the a board for lawyers to discuss on legal policy and manage public defense, I am so proud and happy to see that the DCBA Legal Board in action, and would like to give special thanks to Attorney General Matt_S0 for the organization of such.

Near the end of this month, this Administration had faced several challenges, including a subpoena from Congress. I am pleased from what I was able to tell Congress from the hearing, and I am thankful for the continuous support of Cabinet and the people. Thank you for a fantastic month, and I look forward to seeing what can be brought to the Government in the new year.

Signed,
Westray
President

Secretary: _Austin27_
Deputy Secretary: N/A

Department Update:
The Department of State began this month by auditing all departments and reporting said findings to the President. When performing the audits, it became apparent that there was many gray areas in the way towns are audited. The Department released new policy to clarify said areas. The President and the Secretary were informed mid-month of the departure of former mayor Rainalyn. This was a sad yet exciting time for the department as applications for Town A were able to open again. Vanquish_ap was unanimously chosen by Cabinet to fill the mayor vacancy after multiple members of the community submitted applications. Town A has now been named Willow and is coming along very well. _Zab_ has been working hard on Oakridge Bay and an expansion is expected soon. Another accomplishment for this month was the release of the new department building updated with a town resource center for players to find information about each town.
