LONGVIEW, Texas — For the past nine years, Longview Mayor Andy Mack has been playing a game of Chutes and Ladders. He invited residents Wednesday to play along during his final State of the City address.
“It’s a simple game, but it basically works like this,” Mack told the crowd. “You move along a path. Sometimes, though, a play lets you climb a ladder and make significant progress. Other times, you go sliding down a chute, and you lose progress. This is how the city works. We play Chutes and Ladders pretty much every single day.”
During Mack’s interactive address Wednesday at Pinecrest County Club, attendees were presented with various scenarios he faced during his time as mayor.
