We have collected the nominations and now it's time to elect our Unofficial Mayor!
Here's the deal, we all know Burlington has a Board of Selectmen, Town Meeting and Town Administrator and other boards and committees that work to run the town and keep everything running. What Burlington does not have is a mayor. Now, we can't elect an official mayor, but we can elect an Unofficial Mayor, and that's what we're going to do! The Unofficial Mayor is someone who volunteers their time, a member of the business community, a teacher or educator or anyone who is involved in the community. The idea is to highlight the good works and public participation of those who make a difference in town. Last week we asked for nominations and you came through with some great suggestions. Now it's time to vote. Below you will find our list of …
