CANADIAN TOWN HAS NOBODY RUNNING FOR MAYOR

A town in Saskatchewan, Canada, is facing a problem this election: no one is running for mayor. Officials in the town of Kyle – population 423 – said current Mayor George Williams is retiring this year and no candidates have come forward to seek the office. The town council has sent out two rounds of applications seeking nominations for mayor, but so far no one has signed up. If no one signs up by the election, which is November 13, the council will select a deputy mayor to handle the duties of the office.
* Canada, I like your style.
* So everyone who lives there is thinking “No way I want to deal with these jerks.”
* With 423 people, you don’t need a mayor, you need an R.A., a Resident Assistant, like in a college dorm. Somebody people can complain to and to tell the janitor if there’s a mess somewhere.
* Appoint a dog as your mayor. It’s free, it’s cute, you’ll get some good publicity out of it, no harm no foul.
* Mayor of last resort: A Magic 8-Ball.
