The winds of change hit the City of Howardwick when voters went to the polls last Tuesday, November 7.
Greta Byars was easily elected to the vacant mayor’s seat 75-46, over Mayor Pro-tem Eric Riddle; and Doc Holladay beat Jada Murray for a vacant alderman’s position, 76-44.
City Hall said Tuesday that 121 people voted in last week’s election. Despite losing the election, Riddle remains on the city board as an alderman.
The election results has already caused a bit of a shake-up at City Hall. The city said Municipal Judge Heidi Phelps resigned her position effective last Friday, and Code Enforcement Officer Will Jordan resigned effective Tuesday.
Mayor Byars first meeting with the board was happening Tuesday night as the Enterprise went to press this week.
