The Cheryl Scott debacle is and will have an effect on this year's city elections. For a review of what happened please read the posts listed below. They are listed in chronological order, oldest first, and may take awhile to read but many might find these posts informative. Keep in mind, when you read these posts that a council member's resignation should go to the mayor, not to the city manager. Council members do not work for the city manager, even though some apparently think they do.

More info as to why I feel Jim Neighbor was not the best qualified to fill the position, and why he got it, to be posted in the near future
This also has a bearing on why it is felt he needs to be replaced on the council, and his challenger, Charles Macheers elected (ward 1).
Also, one of the reasons (there are others) why other incumbents running need to be replaced for their actions in this debacle. Why Sandifer, Kuhn, Meyers and Sawyer need to be replaced.
Why, Jenkins (mayor), Ferris (ward 3) McAfee (ward 4) Kemmling (ward 2) need to be elected.
