    I voted and so did my wife. She generally leans toward the Dems – but in not this vote. Remind me to thank her for her vote when she gets home from work. This is great news and I hope the count sticks.

    Local Dems: If Vallario won, it had to be by voter fraud. “We’ll find some judge to throw it out.”

    Thanks for all of the support guys! This is a game changer for this town.

    And for the non-supporters, thank you the most – you made me want to win that much more.

    I posted a video statement on my facebook page.

    I’m hearing that the County doesn’t consider the results official until they are posted on the County election website which they say won’t be until Friday.

    Awaiting clarification………

    #17 Don’t count on it. Resolutions in favor of extending the freebies and other slanted matters into the future can be proposed till the end of the year, I would think. Lots of matters can be proposed till Vallario assumes his seat. In other words, dirty deeds can still be done. I am not sure that Vallario’s win is written in stone. I trust the local pro-Doherty Dems not one bit and think that they will try every trick to invalidate the vote.

  34. Congratulations Josh! In my mind taking the leap from candidate to Councilman could be liken to walking the plank … except for one thing. We’re all behind you, walking with you, and looking ahead to a better future.

    #22 said “Matt you dummy you should have just let them plant the tree”. It’s sad that Tom works hard to appease his boss and get his own projects off the ground, only in vain. Matt doesn’t care about Tom’s election. It’s clear he’s not going to run for Mayor again. If I’m wrong, I hope to see a Crepe Myrtle run against him. I believe that’s all it will take.
