It looks as though there was not much changing of the guard in Centerville this election year. However, the residents did speak loud and clear.
The fact that our Mayor received 777 votes while 1,251 were cast against her speaks volumes. Mary Capra was reelected with only 38% of the vote. We hope that she will remember this as she votes on issues that impact our checkbook.
Of the 3,408 votes cast for the seven council candidates, Mr. Paar received the highest count of 706. Had there not been six others on the ballot, the results may have been quite different. A 21% vote is not a vote of confidence. We hope he keeps this in mind.
Congratulations to our newly elected Council Member Ben Ferhenbacher. He beat Mr. Rawlings by just 20 votes. Hopefully Ben will be able to add a fresh new voice to our City.
