Mayor Bibbee Steps Down
Mayor Bibbee stepped down from her role as both councilwoman and mayor and announced her dedication to her new organization, Conservatives for Camelot. Follow them on twitter @A_New_Camelot for entertaining and extremist taglines. Elections to fill the vacant mayor position will be held next week, chosen among the newly elected council.
"Clean House!" Entire Planning Commission Fired
Welby was quick to raise new business last month, being the first to suggest removing Shelby Cook from the Planning Commission. Cook, fulfilling her role with wisdom from her finance background, stated she strives to keep her opinion separate to follow rules and existing zoning regulation. Friday agreed, leaving Greene the odd man out supported by the council.
City Manager Tayler Hames cleared her name of any existing corruption allegations. She asserted the council needs to be able to trust the planning commission, but the commissioners have not been performing. Following the cry of Will Lane, the council voted to "clean house!" and fire the entire planning commission. New commissioners will be appointed following the swearing in of next term's council. Luckily, Cook already has another job lined up.
