During a recent government meeting, discussions centered around the appointment of a new Registrar of Voters (ROV) amid rising tensions within the local elections office. One speaker emphasized the need for a fresh start, citing a volatile environment that has developed under current leadership. The speaker called for the selection of a candidate who would bring innovative ideas and ensure transparency and security in the electoral process.

The sentiment for change was echoed by another participant, Jeff Gorder, who strongly endorsed Joanna Francescate as the ideal candidate for the ROV position. Gorder dismissed the qualifications of other candidates, humorously referencing personal biases related to sports teams to highlight his preference.

The meeting underscored a collective desire among attendees for a new direction in the elections office, with hopes that the right appointment could foster healing and collaboration within the community.
