2008 was a big election year, not only for the nation, but for our town. We had 3 of 6 city council seats, and the mayor’s seat up for grabs.
This was a major opportunity for the polarized factions of our town to become weighted in one favor or another. Sustainability vs. Development.
How the new city council members weigh in with their voting remains to be seen, but our Mayor’s position is stated very clearly in his State of the City speech, given December 2008: he’s a strong sustainability visionary with a level head for business and development. This will be exciting!
