A Late Added Starter!

I WARNED YOU!
Well, now, this is interesting. I understand that another person has pulled papers to run for a seat on the City Council in November!

ADDED STARTER PULLS PAPERS
Yep, someone named Christopher McEvoy pulled papers this week and, in order to qualify to be placed on the ballot, must get the required 20 (or more) valid signatures and get all the completed paperwork back to the City Clerk by Wednesday at 5:00.


STILL MORE FANNIES THAN SEATS
I guess that means we might be back to nine people competing for the three seats available. I told you this was going to be fun.

PRE-DETERMINED OUTCOME?
We've already had Allan Mansoor and Wendy Leece chime in with their preferences and - no surprise here - The Mouth from Mesa North has regaled us with his choices, too. Funny, but they coincide exactly with those of Mansoor and Leece. Hmmmm.... And, of course, it's interesting that they made their choices known before the filing period had closed.

CANDIDATE FORUM NEXT WEEK
A reminder, in light of the previous confusion about the time and date of the first candidate forum... The first one will be hosted by Mesa Verde Community, Inc., the Mesa Verde homeowners association, and will be held on Thursday, August 21st at the Neighborhood Community Center at Lions Park across from the library. There will be a meet and greet event beginning at 6:00 p.m. and the formal program will commence at 7:00 and is expected to run for a couple hours. Mark your calendars, because this is usually the best of the forum series.
