Hundreds of city employees listened at the Temple Theater ballroom Wednesday morning as Meridian Mayor Cheri Barry and Chief Administrative Officer Mark McDonald spoke about the vision of the new administration and what is expected of city workers, covering subjects ranging from putting the citizens first to working within a budget. "I'm no better than you, I'm no worse than you," Barry told the workers. "We are a team... This is your city, too, and you work hard for her."
