The unofficial results are in...two of the three WL candidates for road districts were victorious!
Alan York is now the new Commissioner-elect for the Platte City Special Road District, winning over William Brown, 1,330 to 1,268.
John Cookinham won over Archie Adkinson, 2,014 to 992, in the Parkville Special Road District for a one year term.
Weatherby Lakean Gary Gulden lost to Steve Hevalow, 1,953 to 774 for the other open seat in Parkville Special. Not a total surprise, the Hevalow name in Parkville is well known. I do appreciate Gary's decision to run and hope that he would consider another in the future.
Huge kudos to Mayor Steve Clark. He recruited the candidates to run...all three excellent. To my knowledge, we have never had three simultaneous candidates and never had a citizen on either District (if you have been here longer than 20 years and know different please let me know).
My guess is Alan and John will be getting acclimated to the policies/procedures/inner workings of the Districts and be able to shed a light on two entities that basically operate out of view of the taxpayers. A good thing right?

My hats off to the men who ran. I didn't get to vote for them because of where I live at the Lake. It is about time we are represented. How long is their terms?
