Saltpeter: New Council Members Need Allies

My latest column, where I outline the road ahead for the new council…
Sixty percent of votes cast in Tuesday’s city council election went for the two change candidates, but the winners—John Delgado and Myrna de Vera—will only make up forty percent of the newly-formed governing body.
In order to bring about the change they’ve promised in their candidacies, they’ll need at least one sitting councilmember to join them and establish a change caucus.
Saltpeter appears Thursdays in the Hercules Patch.
I think its important we continue to go to council meetings and keep the pressure on.
