Longtime Truro mayor Bill Mills has been re-elected for another four-year term.
TRURO - It was a close competition but the unofficial election results has Bill Mills at the helm of the Town of Truro for another four years.
Results from the returning officer indicate Mills had 2,228 of the votes compared to 1,934 for Keltie Jones.
Mills has spent 15 of his 28 years with Truro town council as mayor, and will spend another term behind the desk.
Keep watching for more election results 2012.
Celebrate or complain,your choice,now on to business,and if you want business as usual do nothing! Making municipal politics work involves people participating. Giving feedback to your representatives and calling them to task if it is not replied to,demanding that feedback is sought on all changes,these are how to make our governance a grass roots process.
How many people does it take to change a light bulb in Truro? What? Truro change?!?! :(. Very disappointed those archaic views are back in office.
Congrats Mayor Bill. If it works, don't mess with it! Mayor Bill has done a great job of leading the Town of Truro over the past years. Hopefully the opposition will support him and council in the next four years to keep and make Truro a wonderful place to live and work.
I am disappointed at the snarky remarks over Bill Mills re-election. The people of Truro have spoken. Ms. Jones ran a good race and deserves a pat on the back; but spare me the sarcasm over living in the past. Truro is proud of it`s history and culture; and that is why so many have chosen to live here. Political correctness does not mean you get to shove certain agendas down people`s throats. That is why we have elections; that is democracy.
Maybe Mayor Bill now will see how many voters do not support him.Congrats Keltie.Next time will be your time.
CONGRATS TO BILL You've done an awesome job , keep up the good work :D
Congratulations Ms Jones !!!! You sure put up a good fight and for the first time running in Truro for Mayor you did an "awesome" job. Please don't give up.Now I must go get my Poodle Skirt and Bobby Socks, oh yes, not to forget to put the penny in my loafers.
The majority of voters made the right choice, though given Mayor Mills' track record, he should have won by a much wider margin.
just ah struck!!!!!
You have done an amazing job Mr Mills, congratulations.
Congratulation, Mayor Bill, on another successful campaign. You have earned this position to represent Truro, due to caring and hard work. Municipal challenges can often be very difficult; and we also offer our thanks to those who remain on Council, and those who have left the Municipal scene, for their commitment to our town---Councillors Beyers, Cooke, and Cox. And thank you to the new faces on Council who wish to bring new insight into public debate.
Congratulations, Bill. Great to have the experience at the helm. Good news for Truro.
I was a supporter of Keltie. She has awakened people in this town and I hope that we all hold Mayor Mills to account for his coming term. I wish that she had won but I extend my cautious congratulations to Bill Mills.
that is a disapointment. Truro could use some fresh ideas.
Sad to see secret deals will be the rule for another 4 years.
Hallelujah !!!
Thats very disapointing Stuck in the 30's for another 4 years
The 1830's! :o(
