If things go the way they’ve been headed since Dave Ross drove off to Madison to take a job in Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s cabinet Jan. 3, chances are good that Superior will be without a mayor until April.

Superior residents, with the approval of the city council, will have the potential chance to aire their thought just as in Westborough, MA. One opinion, one vote. The following letter was sent to all members of the Superior City Council and will also be on the agenda for their consideration this coming Tuesday:
I respectfully submit this request for consideration by the Superior City Council:
Before the official April spring ballot is set there will be an estimated 48 inches of unused ballot column space. Rather than go unused, this ballot space should be fully utilized and contain non-binding advisory questions to better help the City Council and our next Mayor in representing the needs and wants of the people of Superior.
I would like to request that the City Council set a committee of volunteers to handle questions submitted by the people of Superior and to choose from the pool of questions those that are most popular by number and those that are most beneficial to the City of Superior and to include them on the April 2011 ballot. It is noted, that in discussions with the City Clerk, this request is not expected to materially raise the cost of ballots, if any at all.
Yes, we can do without a mayor for the next 3 months, but to pass on opportuntiy to hear the valid voice of Superior’s masses is not excusable. Just as in Westborough – One opinion, one vote!http://donaldraihala.areavoices.com/2011/01/13/fill-the-ballot-initiative/
