Seems the voters in Norman Wells feel Frank Pope is doing a good job. So much so that he's been given another three-year term as mayor of the town.
Pope defeated former GNWT cabinet minister Paulie Chinna in th race for the town's top job in Monday's election. It was a blowout, so to speak, as Pope received 174 votes to Chinna's 48.
The town has been dealing with a fuel price crisis to the point where Pope and town council declared a humanitarian state of emergency earlier this month to try and find ways to fix the problems.
When it comes to town council, seven candidates were in the running for the six seats on offer and here are the provisional results according to returning officer Heather Pope. Those elected are in bold.
Alexis Peachey - 186
Trevor Smith - 162
Robert Greek - 153
Roger Odgaard - 73
Carol Lorentz - 71
Heidi Hodgson - 71
Deniele Husein - 39
