Local Government in small towns [View all]

We had our municipal election.

A right wing douchenozzle has been elected mayor with 69 votes.

Our town has 3 voting wards, so, three councilmembers.

Our ward had no one on the ballot, so DH and I wrote his name in.

So, now he's on the city council starting in January.

Should be interesting.

But, given the MANY opinions people have on how the city is run, you'd think that the loudest complainers would have run for office to fix it.

That's it...needed to rant a little teeny bit.

Oh and a really big nut (woke mind virus screamer) from our town has decided to run for Governor.
