The Daily Herald
Mayor Rick Graham celebrated his final day in office by fulfilling his promise to citizens who turned out for the city s latest election which included a whipped pie in the face.
Back in March, the outgoing mayor posted a video on the city s website wagering that he, along with Spring Hill Police Chief Don Brite and Fire Chief Terry Hood, would receive a face full of whipped toppings if the April 8 election resulted in more than 8% of voter turnout.
The voters listened, with the final election totals reflecting a 9.45% turnout, the highest in recent history. On Monday, incoming Mayor Jim Hagaman was chosen to administer the pie.

The most anticipated outcome of the 2021 Spring Hill Election was which candidate would take the seat in Ward 3, the only contested race, over the next four years.
The winner, after all the votes were tallied Thursday at City Hall, went to incumbent Kevin Gavigan, who received 1,477 votes over competitors Brent Murray, who garnered 439 votes, and Angela Privett, who drew 910 votes.
Gavigan s platform, which he said goes back to his first term in 2015, has been about staying focused on getting the city s major road and infrastructure projects completed, including the upcoming Interstate 65 interchange at Buckner Road, as well as road widenings at Buckner Road and Buckner Lane.
