For Sarai, a decision today
A first-term Walhalla city councilwoman, Sarai Melendez, says she’ll make a decision on her 2023 political plans no later than 5 pm today. 101.7/WGOG NEWS has posed to Melendez the question of whether she’ll seek a second term on council or whether she’ll run for mayor. A well-placed source has indicated that a number of Walhallans are seriously contemplating getting into the city’s November 7 contests for mayor and three of the available council seats. But the deadline to get in or stay out is approaching fast: It’s straight up 12 noon on Friday.
