Holyoke City Councilors vie for acting mayor job, Home Rule Petition awaits governor’s signature
Updated 12:28 PM;
HOLYOKE – City Councilors Peter Tallman and Terence Murphy will vie for the acting mayor role once the governor signs a home rule petition.
State Rep. Patricia Duffy (D-Holyoke) said the Massachusetts Legislature passed the Holyoke’s Home Rule Petition on Monday. The document awaits Gov. Charlie Baker’s signature, a final step in the process.
Besides eliminating a costly special election and a likely special runoff, the petition would allow any city councilor to be appointed acting mayor while maintaining their city council seat.
Holyoke City Council meets next week to review Home Rule Petition
