Savu for Mayor of BS

My name is Mike Savu I am announcing my Candidacy for Mayor of Bull Shoals. I have lived here for more than 4 years, after retiring from a Thirty-year career building and operating a Tool and Manufacturing Company west of St. Louis, Missouri. I was fortunate to have worked with a great group of folks that enable me to grow my business to the point where I was able to sell it and retire early. This allowed me to move to the City of Bull Shoals and make this community my home.
