hmtcastle Posted December 28, 2010 at 07:22 PM Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 at 07:22 PM exactly how many days is it legal before election to appoint someone to the vacancy on the council?As far as RONR is concerned, an appointment could be made the day before the election. Even the hour before.So if it's not "legal", you'll have to look somewhere else for the rule. Or law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Ed Posted December 28, 2010 at 10:24 PM Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 at 10:24 PM Why did you even bother to resign to begin with? I would not have of - I would have asked for the correct information instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, simply withdraw it, and start showing up for meetings again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not have of - I would have asked for the correct information instead.i resigned because i didn't want the city to get in trouble,the city didn't know anything,this is something i found out on my own.if i hadn't resigned nobody would have known anything about it. now they won't appoint me back on.
