The person who poses as the "representative" of district 59B has
introduced a bill in the legislature to order an extra election in 2003
for city council.  This would have an implication for the 2005 and 2009
mayoral races.  If council members are holding over in their four-year
terms in those years, they would be able to take a "free shot" at the
mayor's office.  The way it is now, they would have to give up their
council seats in order to run for mayor, a la Sharon Sayles Belton and
Lisa McDonald.
