Getting down to business

Having read the articles at election time when a certain councilor wanted to stack the council so that he could be mayor, I wonder if this is another attempt to try to fool the public.

Why not consider the person receiving the largest vote at the time he is elected to serve his third year as mayor. He would have been elected by the people, for the people and it would also give an opportunity to plan what he would like to accomplish for the citizens. It could also create more interest in city elections.

With this method we could possibly eliminate some of the friction and rabble rousing and the councilors could possibly pay more attention to what is important and not be so negative.

People are reluctant to attend council meetings due to the actions of a few. Cronyism is arrived at over a long period of time and certainly (City Manager Edward) Barrett can not be accused of this in this short period of time…. Stuart Ranney Bangor
