Chamber Pick for City Council

Looks as if the Chamber of Commerce members plumped for Tom Grant to take Don Monty's seat on city council as he received a plurality of votes in a poll taken by the Chamber over the weekend:



Thomas Grant is the preferred finalist to fill the empty seat on the Carbondale City Council according to an unscientific poll conducted by the Carbondale Chamber of Commerce of its membership.
            Grant, a former Carbondale Building and Neighborhood Services manager, was named by 45.4 percent of respondents to a survey emailed Friday to the primary contact person at Chamber-member businesses and organizations. The survey, which asked each respondent to select one of the three finalists, was open for responses until noon today.
            He received 30 of 66 votes in the survey. Finalists Corene McDaniel and Navreet Kang both received 18 responses in the survey (27.2 percent each). All three finalists appeared today on “Talk of the Town,” a joint Chamber-City radio program airing each Monday morning on WDBX-FM to make their case for appointment.
            Chamber leaders said the results of the poll will be shared with the members of the city council prior to Tuesday’s special council meeting at which one of the three will be named to the vacancy.
