OUR VIEW: Election spelled some change
Well, another election year in the books.
In some races, the popular Obama “change” train was still chugging as we saw some newcomers knock off the incumbents. Most notably was the Fourth Ward race, where longtime councilman Patrick Schrader was unseated by Andrew Chapman.
That was a big one.
Also on the Common Council, there will be new Second Ward alderman with Jack Smith unseating Amanda Alexander. The Fifth Ward, by default and John Lombardi not seeking re-election, will have a new alderman as well.
Then there’s the downsizing proposal of the Legislature. That passed overwhelmingly, proving that voters think they can do with fewer politicians. The scare tactics of less representation did not win out.
People saw that the chaos that is 19 leaders trying to decide on anything was maddening.
So in an election year where we had no presidential or even a mayoral race, we still saw some action. A few people were unseated, but in places like the Town of Lockport, the “team” will remain together.
No matter what way it went, the voters have spoken. It’s the great democratic way.
