ONE OF THEM WILL BE TEMPE’S NEXT MAYOR FOR FOUR YEARS

Be sure to be at Kiwanis at noon Thursday when you get an up-close-and-in-the-eye look at the three familiar people running to be Tempe’s mayor for the next four years.

Two of them, of course, are longtime members of KCOT:  Past President and current Treasurer Linda Spears and past board member Mark Mitchell. They will be joined by Michael Monti, a past speaker to KCOT and owner of Monti’s La Casa Vieja restaurant.  The primary election is Tuesday March 13. If the top vote-getter does not get 50 percent of the vote, the two top finishers will vie for the post in May in the general election.  In the following two weeks, March 1, newcomer candidates for the City Council will speak; on March 8, the two incumbent council candidates will speak,  BUT THIS THURSDAY, YOU ARE TREATED TO THE MAYORAL HOPEFULS. BE SURE TO BE ON HAND:
