You may be thinking that this a good thing, but is it?
The timing of Mickey’s resignation does not leave very much of a window for a republican candidate to run for the position.
The issue at hand is that in order for a Republican candidate to be placed on the ballot there has to be enough time for petitions to be circulated in order to get on the ballot. The deadline for a petition to be submitted is July 12, that allows seven days for a candidate to decide they want to run and to gather signatures to be put on the ballot. (Seven days is legally considered enough time)
If Mickey had resigned seven days from now there would not be enough time to circulate a petition and the board could appoint a new board member to complete Mickey’s full term which ends January 14, 2014.
Do you think the Local Democrats have a candidate ready?
Any Democrat who would run would have to live the shame of what they did the last election and what the Dems did to insult the good citizens of Cape Vincent.
ReplyDeleteBesides why take a chance. Last time they weren't even smart enough to file on time.
Shame.... They have no shame.
ReplyDeleteDo not underestimate these people!
Trust me they will be prepared.
Who ever chooses to run the rest of us should ask the question not whether they are pro-wind or not, but do they favor home rule, do they support our draft Comprehensive Plan and do they support the draft Zoning Law. Because if they don't support these, then they won't be serving the people of Cape Vincent. The committees that spent the time to develop these documents probably had no idea that they would become political litmus tests for many Cape elections to come. Thanks again committee members.
