The Morning After

A few surprises in the local races.

It looks like one incumbent, Les Leland, will be returned to the Dukes County Commission. Two incumbent commissioners finished fourth and fifth. So, I picked two of three.

It looks like all of the incumbents of the MVC were returned plus Richard Toole, Dan Flynn and Kathy Newman. I thought Strauss, not Newman, would make it.

You may want to update your report.

With more votes tallied, the two largest vote getters in the County election were non-incumbents, and the proposed Charter Commission passed 3 to 1.

Also, as you now know, Mimi Davission and Richard Toole won the MV Commission race in Oak Bluffs.

Summary: a resounding vote for change in the Dukes County Commission and a vote of confidence in the current leadership of the Martha's Vineyard Commission.

P.S. Mimi Davission was also the highest vote getter amoung the candidates for the Charter Commission. That makes her the Convener of the first meeting of the new Commission.
