The boys are back in town. Lafayette's incumbents won re-election on November 2 and will serve on the City Council for four more years. Long time winner Don Tatzin has served on the Council since 1985, when Reagan was President. Brandt Andersson began 2010 as Mayor, but will continue in January 2011 with Tatzin as City Council Members. Both gentlemen will be working for free.
"I am humbled that so many citizens reelected me to another term on the City Council. I offer special thanks to those who assisted my campaign," said Don Tatzin in a statement. "During the campaign, I met many residents either at their homes while I was walking or around town. All of the people I met recognize Lafayette is a special community and want to preserve its charms while making some improvements. I do too, and committed to make Lafayette better during the next four years."
An equally gracious Andersson said, "A campaign allows the candidates to talk to and listen to their constituents even more than usual. It also takes an enormous amount of time. I am grateful to be returned to office, but also grateful that I can refocus my efforts on the real work of governing. The morning after the election I was in the City Manager's office being briefed on possible mid-year budget adjustments. Even though the budget is balanced, we are addressing potential deficits three to five years out. That's how I want to spend my time, working to solve problems we see coming before they arrive."
