A March 21, 2004 article in the New York Times explained a borough by stating:
There are nine boroughs left, down from 15 in 1950 and 23 in 1900, according to state records, though the number could dwindle even more. Every now and then, a faction of anti-borough residents will gain momentum and try to dissolve or consolidate their borough status. But for the most part, borough residents are proud of their political distinction and are determined to maintain it.Ron Ward, stated, "As Warden, I will oppose adopting any measure that will dissolve borough services." He continued, "I will defend the Borough Charter against any effort that takes away our right as residents of Jewett City to have a self-regulated and autonomous government."

Pride in our Community & Respect for our Traditions
"Signing a proclamation to declare July 18th as 'Charter Day in the Borough of Jewett City' will be the first official act of my administration," said Ward. "A generation of hard-working and industrious residents made the effort to create the borough over one hundred and eleven years ago. It is our responsibility to respect our traditions and celebrate the future of Jewett City," he concluded.
Laser Light Shows are a fantastic way for a community to celebrate a special event. During the month of July, many communities host fireworks displays. A laser light show will distinguish Jewett City and provide an opportunity for area residents to visit our community. A Jewett City Charter Day committee will be appointed to organize the event to be held at the Veteran's Memorial Park located at Ashland Lake in the borough.
