We Have a New Councilmember - NEW
Well, we finally have a new council member!
Tuesday night was a long night, and it ended with the four of us at an impasse.
We had two votes for Kelley by Magee and Tisdale, and two votes for Morsch by myself and Hickman.
We had 6 Lake Elsinore residents lobby on behalf of Genie Kelley, and 3 on behalf of Rick Morsch.
When we appeared to be able to go no further, I chose to compromise and nominate Peter Weber, one of the other 4 qualified candidates.
Unfortunately, there was no interest in compromising from anyone else, we ended with a deadlock.
We met again today, Friday the 16th, and once again Genie Kelley was nominated by Magee. It was clear we were obviously not going to agree on Morsch or Kelley, so I again offered a compromise and nominated Peter Weber.
I am happy to report that this compromise was reluctantly agree upon by a 3-1 vote.
Peter Weber has been appointed to serve out the 16-month term left vacant by Amy Bhutta.
We can now move on with the city's business with all five members. Hallelujah.

It's about time, good job bringing everyone together.
Thank you for Pete Weber, he will represent this town in an honorable way.
Thank you for not allowing Genie Kelley to have another whack, time for new blood.
