Interesting that 2500 voters castings ballots did not cast a ballot for Mayor. I think Mr. Mitchell needs to assess this 25% , of what can be considered, vote of “no confidence”. The Mayor will carry this baggage of the first 2 years of his administration as well as the upcoming term with him in what hopefully will be a contested race.
interesting? he ran uncontested, why bother voting for him?
Seems that the pay raise played a role in the elections. Even though gomes, coelho, and alves still remain, I think saunders mouth caught up with him. Its a shame these idiot voters would still support alves, gomes and coelho after they literally laughed at these voters knowing they would still get elected after trying to sneak in a raise. This city will never go forward when the electorate is as uneducated and incompetent as the councilors they keep re-electing.
