Paris City Commission races discussed on blog: Not many changes likely

With all the attack ads and so forth this election it is possible to forget about the important local races on the ballot. Among those is the race for Paris Mayor and city commission. Incumbent Mayor Mike Thornton is challenged by former city commissioner Janet Patton in the Mayor’s race. There hasn’t been a lot of talk on the street about this race, which probably points to a victory for the incumbent Mayor. Thornton has detractors and Patton has a following but in the absence of some strong organized opposition to the Mayor he should be in good shape. To Thornton’s credit he inherited a difficult situation in local government and has made strides to put the city on a better financial footing. The same reasoning probably helps the incumbents in the city commissioner races in which four incumbents are challenged by two newcomers. Incumbents Stan Galbraith and Mike Fryman are probably safe bets. Incumbents Wallis Brooks and Bart Horne should run well but Horne is in his first race since being appointed which could make him more vulnerable. Of the challengers, John Plummer has been working hard and has significant support. Former police chief Tim Gray also has supporters and his stint as police chief placed him in touch with a lot of people. How that translates into votes is debatable. Bottom line is not too much change on the city commission unless Plummer is able to pick off either Horne or Brooks.
