Political newbie Frank Ritchie newbie had to learn fast in his first year as Boerne's mayor
This time last year, Frank Ritchie didn't know much about Boerne 's development codes, water conservation rules or the inner workings of city government. Spending a year in the mayor's office has changed all that. Although he was a well-known figure in the community — he owns Ritchie Automotive Repair and Alignment and is a pastor at Spring Creek United Methodist Church — Ritchie had zero political experience when he decided to run for the city's top elected office last year.
No matter what we do. If we allow development, or if we don't allow development, we're going to be stuck in a pickle.' 'Nothing's going to move fast. Everything we have to deal with, there's a study, and then there's a report, and then we have to send out bids, and then we have review. It is a tedious, tedious process. That's just government in general. All that stuff takes time. In my opinion, too much time. But I understand why the processes are in place.
