Five Finalists, including Jim Lamerson, are vying for the Council seat vacated by Councilwoman Billie Orr.

 

We will be providing you with the information from the candidate applications - one per day for the rest of the week. 

 

Although asked, none of the finalists have been convicted or under indictment of any felonies or class 1 misdemeanor offenses, so we did not include their answers on that section. If they added a resumé or note at the end, we have included that, too. 

 

The finalists will be interviewed publicly in a special Council meeting on February 16.
