With Palm Beach Mayor Gail Coniglio announcing Dec. 30 she will not be seeking a sixth term after serving as mayor since 2011, it’s time to look back at some of the people who occupied that office before her.
Coniglio is the 16th mayor of the town, which was incorporated in 1911. While the mayor only has the right to vote to break a tie vote on any ordinance, resolution or ordinance, the mayor also has veto powers. The mayor is recognized as the head of the town government for ceremonial and other purposes and acts as an ombudsman to investigate and report the residents’ concerns to the council.
also, i would like to give sincere thanks to presiden also i would like to give sincere thanks to president obama for how he handled the situation. on election day i m voting for mitt romney, but if i had to pick one guy to have my back in a crisis, it would be barack obama. again, i ll be a good soldier and vote for mitt romney, but i m going to hate it. do you hear me? i will hate it. and one final note. to the new jersey residents who are going through the phone book and making threatening phone calls to people named sandy, cut it out. you re being idiots. all right. be safe. that was saturday night live, poking fun at the bromance, of course, between new jersey s governor and president obama in light of the storm. certainly, a relationship that speaks to our next story. sign language, chick, nailed it. they get a lot of attention. they re going crazy. my husband was like i can t pay attention to anything. you are looking at all the signs. here.
now vowing to mobilize a million poll watchers to look out for fraud like people voting multiple times. in the past activists have been accused of harassment in dominant districts. she insists true the vote is unpartisan. though she runs a separate group and made it clear she would like to see president obama lose. and here s another twist. study after study has found voter fraud to be virtually nonexistent. another study in 2005 that showed that the federal government was charging more americans with violating migratory bird statutes than election fraud. what we ve experienced suggests that there s room for improvement. the cabbie threw out the challenge against her. the other day she voted early without incident. meanwhile true the vote now has poll watchers out at early voting places, including in minority neighborhoods, and the complaints have already bebegun.
upset with the secretary of state. there are changes. hate to say it. don t be surprised if parts of it end up in court again. we hope it doesn t. early signs are not encouraging. no. watch it all play out starting tomorrow. yep. and make sure you stay with abc news for complete coverage of the presidential election. diane sawyer and george stephanopoulos will be in our times square election headquarters. and our entire political team will be out in force for what, as we said, could be a very long night. no matter what, folks, just go out there and vote and be heard. very long night. maybe stretching into a very long couple of weeks. yes. sandy s aftermath could have an impact on the election. some voters will be casting ballots in places from their usual polls. and some polling places will be running on generators and using emergency lights and portable toilets. the aftermath continues. now a new storm could hit the region by the middle of this week. accuweather s jim
