Who is vacant?
Yeah, what's up?
Jake Day in jail again? LOL!
Will this come into play if Laura Mitchell quits to run for County Council? Can she be on both at the same time??
If I am reading this correctly the council gets to select the person to fill Mitchell's position if she goes to the county council?
