What About Bob?

So it happened Monday. Ward 6 Councillor Christine Billings joined ward-mate Karl Wettstein in the race to get re-elected to her seat on the horseshoe. So that means that all the incumbents on council, save one, have declared one way or another, with only Kathleen Farrelly refraining from running again.

But what of Farrelly's fellow Ward 1 councillor Bob Bell? In the most competitive race in the whole darn election, he's the only incumbent to not say either way whether he's in or not, and time is running out. Of course, the flip side is that wards 3 through 6 are running challenge less so far. Time is running out there for people to throw their hats in the ring. Can a flood of last minute candidates be in the offing?


Nominations for mayor, city council, and school boards close on September 10th.
