Congratulations to our new Vice Mayor! ???

Ms Dominguez, selected as the new vice mayor. Mr. Tran what are you thinking, or were you? Oh yes, of course, ”that’s politics”. This puts into question Mr. Tran’s integrity because he “promised” the vice mayor position to Ms Montano an experienced council member and vice mayor position graciously stepped down. The recently elected Dominguez who has not even served as council member, is vice mayor?? Seems she’s looking to advance her political future at the expense of integrity. Ya just gotta scratch your head, and say, huh!
