Incumbant or New Blood

In a few days there is going to be a runoff election for to of our council positions in the city in which I live. One of the contestants in each of the races is one of the good old boys who have been running our city for the last 10 years. Each of them is challenged by a relative newcomer. Here’s hoping that my vote for one of newcomers in each race will bring new blood and new ideas to our city council.

Close Elections

I was reading in the paper this morning that local politics is heating up. The election for city council last week left both seats needing a run off election to fill them. In each case the two front runners were less than 300 votes separated, and in one case the candidates were within fifteen votes! That should be fun to watch.
