Mayor Conflict of Interest

This will be the first elected mayor in 50 years. The two candidates running for mayor have two very different visions on how the job of mayor should evolve. Paul Esslinger would like to turn the mayor position into a full time job. While Bill Castle supports a part time mayor making under $3,000 a year, and he questioned Esslinger on how much he thinks the mayor position should make. I want to find out if Castle is opposed to mayor veto power. I want to see if each candidate’s thinks that the mayor position should be able to hold other city officials accountable for their jobs for example City Manager, Community Development.

I think this is the most important issue because it will set the precident for the future of the mayor position.
