Congrats Mayor Serra!
Steve,
Your coverage of the election was incredible. I checked the Eye every few minutes to see what was happening. You never disappointed me; there was always a new post with the most current info. Great job!
To Franca - I am sorry to see that although you were a higher vote getter for the BOE, the majority/minority rule meant you would lose.
Why were the three Questions not on the ballots we received at the South Fire Station, District 10? At least two of us feel disenfranchised. Did other receive ballots without the Questions?
There was only one ballot printed for all precincts. The three Questions were at the top of the first page, and they were easy to overlook. I spoke with Sandra Russo-Driska last night about this, and she acknowledged this problem. She said the ballot was overloaded with candidates and questions, but it would have costs thousands of dollars more to print it on two separate pages.
To Kathy- Thank you for your kind words.
It's been a rough day today knowing that I won...but I lost.
I've had such a great experience though, and met so many wonderful people along the way (you being one of them) that if I had to, I would do it all again. I am sorry that I won’t be on the BOE because I believe I could have done some good.
Kathy, I still laugh when I think about some of your "observations". I hope our paths will cross again. I would love to work side by side with you on some other great project.
Franca
Notice how Eds (D) is lower case next to his numbers... interesting.
Probably just a typo. Still, in my book, small "d" democracy is so much more important than big "D" Democratic Party. So, I'm honored.
Finally, the two years of aggravation that McMahon & Giuliano created will be over. Former Mayor Giuliano supported this guy for 2 years stating he was the best applicant to be the city's police chief and then withdrew his support of him for what he found out about him and placed him on administrative leave. Giuliano lost the election because of this flip-flop of his. Just goes to show you the Democratic members of the City Council were right in not approving his appointment the past two times it came up for a vote. They knew he was not a worthy applicant to be the next Police Chief. The people who supported him like the Minority Republican Council Members and Ed McKeon must have egg on their faces now. They supported a candidate who had a shameless record as the Acting Chief of Police and as a law enforcement official. McMahon deserves what happens to him. Giuliano already received his. One down and one to go.
