Election Season Continues

1. After a long weekend, City Hall is back open, and that means the potential candidates for the 2013 election can pull papers for the fall election. Last week was the first opportunity for people to take the first step toward becoming official candidates. Several incumbents, including Mayor Kevin Dumas, did it. Jim Poore, potential at-large council candidate, became the first challenger to pull papers on Friday. The deadline to return completed papers to City Hall is July 30.
