Resident asks council to consider seniors when budgeting and questions cost of special election
Summary
A resident urged the council to prioritize senior citizens in the upcoming budget and questioned the cost and necessity of a special election on March 8 to fill a vacated state seat after a resignation.
George Bazley urged the council to remember senior citizens in the upcoming budget and asked about the cost of the special election scheduled for March 8, saying he had been unable to obtain an estimate from city election staff.
Bazley said he had "no representative in the state" after a resignation and that he learned from a state official the governor could not appoint a replacement because that would be "against the constitution," so an election must be held. He asked the council to consider ways to reduce costs for seniors and to seek clarity about election expenses and representation.
