Mayor Wins Reelection Unopposed

Mayor Wins Reelection Unopposed

Julian’s mayor handily won reelection in the November election. However nobody remembers voting for him or any of the propositions that will put the state into an even bigger financial bind. Actually because he ran unopposed, he didn’t even appear on the ballot, which saved his campaign fund quite a bit and if there is anything left over from his defense fees, there will be quite an inauguration party in January. He said, “It just shows how popular you are when no one will run against you. I’m even more popular than Obama by that measure- just not as well known.” Since the results of his indictment are still not known and many of the other indicted politicians are still on the loose and running for office, we assume he will be declared the winner like all the rest and will take office of his new term in January. The inauguration will certainly be a festive occasion at the town hall, but because of size and fire safety constraints, is by invitation only. If you haven’t received your invitation, it’s no insult, but you’re just not in the group of the most important Julian residents. He has already determined that his Harley will not fit in the new elevator. However, he has already ridden up and down the front steps at prior inaugurations.
