Wilburn voted mayor

Wilburn voted mayor

I called it, though not exactly.

On the council's first vote, councilor Bob Elliott voted for Mike O'Donnell to be the next mayor while the rest of the council voted for Wilburn. After that vote, Elliott moved that the council re-vote in order to give Wilburn a unanimous vote.

Regenia Bailey is the mayor pro tempore...

It's interesting that the P-C doesn't mention the historic first here. Or maybe it's a sign that the historic first is widely considered no big deal. Anyway, along with the woman-majority council, we now have our first African-American mayor.

And bets are: Bob Elliott isn't running in `07.
