Mr(s) Mayor 2011-2013

-

Tonight we will find out who will be mayor for the next 2 years in Richardson. The whispers really picked up this weekend and now, the whispers have decided who will be the next mayor.

Who is out as Mayor 2011-2013:

Out of the running for mayor is Steve Mitchell. He has only one committed vote for mayor. He was part of the ousting of Slagel in 2007, and will never be mayor again because of that.

Whispers in the Ears

The whispers have also eliminated Omar. While they whispers may let him have a seat on the council, they want to make sure that he stays in his place. Reminds me of decades old attitudes towards another group.

The whispers have also given Scott Dunn the "no way in this lifetime" message about being mayor, for some fairly obvious reasons.

The whispers are given a qualified "not at this time" to Hartley.

That leaves Laura Maczka, Mark Solomon and Bob Townsend. The whispers also give Solomon the boot.

The whispers give Bob Townsend the mayor's throne for the next two years with Laura Maczka seated as mayor pro-tem.

While all of this has been decided, there will still be another presumed illegal closed meeting to solidify these positions. Afterwards, they will vote in public to give it the  appearance of openness.

Just another day in Richardson.

As an anonymous commenter just pointed out, the second comment on Destiny's site is very much worth reading,
