RETIRED COVINGTON FIREFIGHTER TO RUN AS WRITE-IN CANDIDATE
Alan "Chip" Terry who retired as assistant chief from the Covington Fire Department in late July announced Thursday that he has filed as a write-in candidate for the Covington City Commission. Terry, of Licking Riverside, knows he faces an uphill battle as a write-in candidate but is up for the challenge. He spoke with The River City News Thursday afternoon. "With all the difficulty the city is having and all the issues with budgeting and departments and thing they're talking about cutting, I didn't feel that some of the ideas, some of the topics, some of the concepts to get the budget back in line were appropriate," Terry said. "I felt they were focusing too negatively on the situation, talking about cutting employees, departments, and not looking at other areas that may be viable options for that and I felt like there was a basic lack of leadership. I got motivated and felt that I could contribute to that discussion in a more positive way."

Terry and his wife have six children including two adopted daughters from Haiti. As the City Commission voted to accept his retirement in July, he spoke at City Hall and even off-handedly remarked that he may soon be sitting at the commission's dais. "I feel like politics, especially local politics, should be bottom up and not top down," Terry said. "I have a lot of relationships within the city, employees, department heads, and also outside the city structure itself, in the neighborhoods. We know a lot of people interested in seeing the city go in a more positive direction. I'm not afraid to work. I've worked hard all my life and I'm passionate about the city. I'm certainly not afraid of putting in time and effort to making the city better."
