GLOCESTER – Newly appointed Town Council President Julian “Jay” Forgue says he’s “sat with English lords, sat with presidents. I’ve met very influential people. It’s a worldly experience that I have.”
On Jan. 4, the Glocester Town Council voted 4-1 to elect Forgue, 69, as president, with Republican Walter M. O. Steere against the appointment.
Steere was the top earner in the general election with 3,266 votes. Forgue, a Republican, earned second in the race, with 3,211 votes, and was the top-earning endorsed Republican. Newly elected council members William Worthy and Stephen Arnold are also endorsed by the Republican party, and Steere is not.
