JEERS to the urge to avoid a messy election, circumventing democracy, in picking someone to serve the remaining year of Lawrence Mayor Daniel Riveraâs second term.
The City Councilâs Ordinance and Intergovernmental Relations Committee is set to meet tomorrow to talk about seeking state permission to dodge a city charter requirement to hold a special election for mayor.
