Auburn Mayor Linda Blechinger on Friday received national recognition for the quality of her leadership of the city.

At a National League of Cities conference in Arizona, Blechinger was named the 2011 recipient of the Women in Municipal Government Leadership Award.

The award is given annually to a female municipal official who has displayed both “unique and outstanding leadership in local government” and “individual achievement in initiating creative and successful programs,” according to the organization's web site.

Blechinger was not available for comment but is expected back in the office on Monday.

Congratulations! Well deserved and quite a contrast to the nonsense and idiocy we had come to expect from Auburn over the past years.
