Sure he is, he's going from top dog Mayor, to some city council stooge. And you can bet the rent, if his "Turn" comes up again, he'll never be the Mayor again.
In fact, I'd bet money his days being a council hack will be short lived.
Not trying to argue, just further FYI from a former resident: Auburn is a tiny place. Not sure exactly of the current population but it’s only around 20,000. So he’ll remain a big fish in a small pond. However this is a conservative county and I’d warrant that Auburn, up in the Sierra foothills, is more conservative than what passes for substantial cities down at the edge of the Central Valley, Rocklin and Roseville. So I’d bet good money that he’s toast in the next election
Wow. And now he’s dead.
