Five Things: Marijuana and the Mayor on Ward Park and Re-Election

1. Mayor Arthur Vigeant has laid out his reasons for running for a second term and future goals. Some readers believe that his position on the Senior Center at Ward Park will affect his bid for mayor. When asked whether this might affect his chances, the mayor responded “I believe we have a great location and we are really looking forward to working with the neighbors to make sure the project is best for all of us and that includes the ward park revitalization."

2. For those thinking one issue wouldn't be enough to affect a person's bid for mayor, it must be remembered that Mayor Vigeant won his first term by only 42 votes.
