St. Joseph is getting ready to swear in a new mayor. Rick Schultz will assume control of his first St. Joseph City Council Meeting this evening. Rick Schultz beat incumbent Al Rassier in a three-way race for the office back in November. He says one of his goals is for residents to feel more connected to their city government.
