 1st black woman takes mayor's office in Utah
Mia B. Love thanked those who helped her become the city's new mayor -- and will help her as she leads the city into "a bright future."
"As I look around, I am blessed to have so many good people around me," Love said after her swearing in before a crowd of more than 120 people at Talons Cove Golf Club on Friday night.
Love and Councilmen Michael D.S. McOmber and Jim I. Miller were sworn in by Justice Court Judge Keith M. Stoney.
Love's inauguration was historic for more than that she was replacing longtime Mayor Timothy Parker, who stepped down after a decade in office. She is also the first black woman to be elected as mayor of a Utah city. |
