Chestermere, Alta., has a new mayor following a byelection on Monday.
Shannon Dean won the position with 3,559 votes, followed by Marshall Chalmers with 1,102 votes and the city's former mayor Jeff Colvin with 1,072 votes."This is as decisive as it gets," said Lori Williams, a political science professor at Mount Royal University.
"I think we can move that from information to action, and get that new school site going," Dean said. Officials say the money was also used for alcohol, surveillance devices and expenses for one councillor's spouse."This is important to Chestermere and we've been through some turmoil here in the last couple of years," Dean said.
"And knows what kind of things people are looking for. All I can say is, let's have a pool. We've been waiting election cycle up to election cycle. No pool."Approval for Calgary's mayor and council sinks to all-time low amid water crisisWikiLeaks' Assange pleads guilty in deal with U.S. that secures his freedom, ends legal fight
