Westminster council president will not try for reelectionFebruary 24, 2009
Writing for the Carroll County Times, reporter Bryan Schutt has posted a news brief on the newspaper’s web site at 6:20 pm, Tuesday, February 24, 2009, that the Westminster council president, Roy Chiavacci, will not run for re-election.
“Westminster Common Council President Roy Chiavacci won’t be running for re-election this spring. In an announcement during the latest Common Council meeting, Chiavacci, an eight-year council member, sited professional and family reasons for not trying to refill his post.
“The city’s election is May 11. Two council seats and mayor are up for election and the deadline to put a name on the ballot is April 13.
“Westminster Mayor Thomas Ferguson had also told city staff he won’t be running for re-election several weeks ago.”
Actually Mayor Ferguson announced at the annual employee Christmas luncheon last December 2008 that he will not be running for re-election.
So far, councilmembers Suzanne Albert and Kevin Utz have announced for mayor and former council president Ken Hornberger has formed an exploratory committee in consideration of tossing his hat in the ring for the mayor’s office.
Meanwhile, it is broadly rumored in town that Council President Chiavacci’s son, Tony, is considering running for office as well as Jeff Dixon, who ran unsuccessfully for council several years ago.
