Howell council members honor late mayor with proclamation
HOWELL – The members of the Howell Township Council honored the memory of a former mayor with a proclamation that was read during the Feb. 9 meeting of the governing body.
On Jan. 20, the ongoing coronavirus pandemic claimed the life of Suzanne Veitengruber, 71, of Howell. Veitengruber served on Howell’s governing body in the early 1990s and was the township’s mayor in 1991.
Mayor Theresa Berger read the proclamation in which officials said Veitengruber “was an avid leader and volunteer who cared deeply for her community; she was elected to the Township Committee in 1989 and was appointed mayor for the year in 1991.”

During and after the 2020 election, countless news articles were devoted to the voting impact of women: suburban women, Black women, white women, older women, younger women, college-educated women, high school-educated women and just about every other category in which they could be sliced, diced and otherwise grouped.
And indeed, women did have an outsized effect on the election. Black women helped propel Democrat Joseph R. Biden into the presidency, with about 90% backing the former vice president on his way to reaching an historic high of 81.3 million votes. Majorities of Latina voters and suburban white women with college degrees also backed Biden.
COVID, Politics Make Dry January Harder Than Ever By Debbie Koenig

But this year, both the motivation and the reset proved more challenging. From the deadly pandemic to the cratered economy to the toxic political campaign season, laying off alcohol was more of a struggle.
“This whole past year, with COVID and the economy and everything going on in the world, it was really hard to not sit down and have a drink at the end of every day,” she says. “It was getting to the point where I was looking forward to it. I’d think, ‘It’s only 4, there’s still another hour until I can get a glass of wine.’”

(WASHINGTON) Inauguration Day already was historic for women, with Kamala Harris becoming the first woman and person of color to become vice president, and she soon could be joined by a similarly record-breaking Cabinet.
Twelve of Biden’s nominations for Cabinet and Cabinet-level positions are women, including eight women of color, and if they’re all confirmed it would shatter former President Bill Clinton’s record of nine women serving concurrently, which happened during his second term.
When former President Donald Trump was in office, six women served at the same time, excluding two who served in acting roles, per Rutgers University’s Center of American Women and Politics.
