There is no doubt that Kirksey filed to run and Meakin dropped out because they realized that Meakin could not beat Patrick O'Neal. I think they beleave Kirksey will win, resign after a short period and then appoint Meakin.
it is interesting that you think Jack will pass his crown to Meakin, rather than McCann...explain, please
I disagree with both of these theories. I think Jack believes that he can take his power to hell with him.

If the mayor cannot complete his term, the job goes to the council president who becomes mayor pro tem. The mayor pro tem would serve until the next election, either a special election or the next general election depending on how much of the term is left.

I believe that McCann is going to ride the gravy train he has with the Wayne County Courts for a few more years then Jack will retire and pass his throne to McCann in the next election or if McCann gets to be City Council President again.

My source said the reason Jack entered the race was because he didn't want Meakin to be the next mayor! Funny, how you never really know the truth when it comes to politicians!

I would more than settle for a button, LPS!

Meakin or Jack = 6 of one, half a dozen of the other.

Jack doesn't want anybody to be mayor except Jack. The man has an ego the size of Texas.

If Jack's name is the only one on the ballot, we shouldn't spend the money to put it on. I will not even cast a mayoral vote... I'll go to the polls to vote on everything else.
