The winner of this by-election becomes one of nine members of council, equal with the others. It does not give them the control of a tie breaker. If it did, there would be ten times the number of candidates.
ReplyDeleteYes, the new council member will be equal with all others including the Mayor. However, with the current 8 seemingly deadlocked on more than one issue the new member would have the ability to break a tie vote as the ninth member.
ReplyDeleteIf the new member of council votes and the motion passes or fails by one vote and the new member is on the side of the five, you are going to forever blame or thank the new council member? Shheeesh, I would not want to be that person. No wonder whatzhiz name dropped out!!
ReplyDeleteGood point, Bill.
