For Chelsea:

As was trolling channels, watching election results for mention of the library, I saw that Durant reelected their mayor. I know most of you religiously read the Wilton-Durant Advocate News...so, a recap: Durant city council meetings are the best thing to happen to that paper since Thelma Nopolous sent Christmas cards to everyone in the 52778 zip code bragging about her kids. If it's not the council accusing the mayor about stepping over his authority, it's the mayor accusing the council of breaking laws and shady dealings.

None of this is going on (come on, it's Durant - population 1600), but it sure makes for fun reading. I can just imagine Dawn Luethye sitting there, trying to figure out how not to make the whole lot them look like dumbasses. Which they come across as, anyway.

I didn't see anything about the council, so I don't know if the town decided to solve the personality clashes by kicking out council members. But if the citizens of Durant have my sense of humor, they'll keep everyone on, just to have something to look forward to when they get the paper on Thursday.

Ahhh. Much better.

You gotta love how everything in small towns can seem like such a big deal since nothing else is going on.
