Cursed Tennessee Town Votes Dead Man As New Mayor
by Anorak | 16th, April 2010
HATS off and funeral weeds on to Carl Robin Geary Sr. who despite dying of a heart attack on March 10 has been elected mayor of Tracy City, Tennessee.
Mr. Geary beat incumbent mayor Barbara Brock 268 votes to 85.
Mrs. Brock became mayor in December 2008 after the mayor Mike Price died of a heart attack.
Mr Geary will not sit like a Jeremy Benthem in the champers. But the mayor’s seat would be declared vacant and the city’s four aldermen would select a new mayor.
Which given the post’s cursed history should not be that hotly contested…
