Ann Schneider
In a ceremony devoid of the tension and dissension featured in previous years, Millbrae officials routinely rotated and unanimously elected Ann Schneider as mayor for the coming year.
The decision Monday, Dec. 8, caps a tumultuous stretch in Millbrae when councilmembers had previously held back the honor from Schneider, due to concerns that she had behaved in a fashion unbecoming of an elected official.
But those hard feelings seemed like water under the bridge during the rotation meeting which was held online due the pandemic, as officials called to form a unified front in hopes of collectively overcoming the hurdles ahead.
