Mayoral Election Controversy

Mayoral Election Controversy

In a strange turn of events, Julian is preparing for the election in advance this time. There are two important questions they are trying to resolve. First, no one is aware of whether or not the indicted Julian mayor is disqualified because he has been indicted. If the case, which seems to drag on, isn’t resolved by election day, he won’t be guilty of a crime, yet. Some don’t want him to run, simply because being indicted sounds so bad. Others say that it’s no big deal- it happens to public officials all the time and comes with the territory. The mayor’s response was, “Let’s get our priorities straight. Let’s let everyone see how much money I raise compared to the other candidates, and then decide.” The other question is even more problematic. No one who was at that particular long ago meeting remembers if there are term limits in place or not. The secretary was absent that night and everyone recalls that the minutes were written on the back of a Rongbranch menu, but they are no where to be found. After a phoned in order “to go” after the meeting, the menu was probably discarded.
