2014 RETURNS

[Peggy Gurney]

Who knows. There are 3 of them.

[Towntalk]

So, will this be the one settled on?

NEWSFLASH Annie.  It lost by ONLY 120 VOTES.  That is not a large margin, so she should not be patting herself on the back.

[Towntalk]

The big question is, will Gillam and company allow that map to move forward since she has made it abundently clear that she is opposed to any change by her statement last night.

"I'm glad people saw the need to keep seven wards," said Councilwoman Annie Gillam, D-1st, who opposed the proposal. "I had a feeling it wouldn't pass, but you never know what people will do. I'm glad they voted against this." - See more at: http://www.vindy.com/news/2014/nov/05/youngstown-voters-reject-ward-fracking-a/#sthash.Tzhflrlk.dpuf

I don't know that there will be a recount, but I certainly hope one is called for.  120 votes is certainly close enough to qualify for one.


As for redistricting, City Council has already had a new map done and new lines drawn even before the election, so that will go forward.

I had (to myself) predicted a razor thin victory for the redistricting amendment...hope
the recount will be the sharp edge needed to pull it off.....

 

[Towntalk]

The big question is what will the Mayor and Council do about redistricting?

[Peggy Gurney]

Issue 7 was defeated by 120 votes.
But like TT said, that should be close enough to qualify for a recount!
