While the ordinance says the Board of Aldermen president should step in, confusing language around petition deadlines has left aldermen divided: some want clearer rules even for rare events, others argue the election still worked fine and stress the need to plan for other emergencies too. Public frustration with the write-in process — where anyone can run without vetting — lingers, even if the campaign wasn’t unusually short. No solution yet, but everyone agrees they need to avoid repeating this mess. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
