Guest Councilmen Posted January 9, 2018 at 12:58 AM Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 at 12:58 AM Our mayor broke a tie in voting for mayor pro-temp. He voted to appoint his son as mayor pro-temp, should he have abstained from voting and doesn’t this vote qualify as nepotism? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
