I don’t know anything about her resume or qualifications, so...
In MANY cases they have to mean it. Some do skate in the GOP basically carrying out Democrat lite policies because nobody will dare confront them, it ain’t politically correct.
My prayer is that this lady is not on the (spiritually) dark side.
Served as city clerk before being elected.
That’s not much of a recommendation.
That just means they’re more transparent.
Probaly. She must have relatives that need a job.
we’ll see ... might just be ‘nother chok’lit city
Well, for a town of just 700 people, it isn’t much of a pool to select from.
She may have been the best candidate, it’s just impossible to know at this point.
It is about time, when haters of the Republic get elected, it is time for Republic lovers to not be part of their administration, it is time for Republic lovers to stand on the sidelines and watch a new Detroit take place.
It may be — but what does it have to do with this article?
The mayor’s political affiliation is not that important because Parma likely has a weak mayor system of govt where the town council has all the power to hire the city manager, police chief, and other positions.
So which is it? Parma will turn into Detroit because the new mayor is black or corruption will be cleaned out of City Hall because she’s a republican? You can’t have it both ways.
you have to dig real deep to get to the truth here...
turns out “her honor” the new mayor’s family have had more than their share of run in’s with local officials including police...
they had legitimate safety concerns from her family..
i would have quit too...
of course this is “racist”..
She’s a Republican. Sounds like the “haters of the Republic” were the ones who ran.
Yup..David Dinkins was City Clerk before being elected mayor of NYC..and look how that tuned out..

The population is in decline.
The fact that she is a Republican , and black..is the key point, IMHO, of the story..but you wouldn’t know it..would you, from the covergae?
If that is the extent of her experience and without knowing if she has anything more to add, it’s difficult to guess if she will be up to the task.
