The Governor took a moment to reflect on the long and fulfilling careers of the retirees, many of whom began their journey in the days of the defunct municipality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Many of you joined when you were young, full of energy, and eager to serve. Over the years, you grew in your career, confidently discharging duties and rising through the ranks. Your dedication and service have contributed significantly to the development of our county,” he said, applauding their years of hard work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The County Boss also offered words of encouragement, reminding the retirees that “retirement is not an end, but a transition into a new and exciting phase of life.”<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
