SEBRING – City council members John Griffin and Scott Stanley have both earned themselves another term on the council following a close, and small, election race.

SEBRING – City council members John Griffin and Scott Stanley have both earned themselves another term on the council following a close, and small, election race.
Of the 5,501 registered voters residing in the Sebring city limits, a mere 278 cast ballots for Tuesday’s election.
“We had a very low turn out, which is unfortunate. Other than that, it was a great election. There were no problems,” said Supervisor of Elections Penny Ogg of her first official election.
Stanley led the election with 195 votes (38.76 percent), Griffin received 156 votes (31.01 percent), and first-time runner Lenard Carlisle trailed just behind Griffin with 152 votes (30.21 percent). Ogg stated that the unofficial results will stand; a re-count is only conducted in the event there are two votes separating candidates in a race.

VOTER TURNOUT, I MEAN WASHOUT! (by: GINGERLEEDREAD - 3/12/2013)

Well I guess those signs all over town of Griffins won him those 4 votes....... I guess he has another shot at that 8 million from the Sebring Parkway to find ways to line his pockets along with Scott and their croonies. But Id say the voter apathy should also say volumes in just how much faithany have in any of those sitting in their position since both councilmen have close to 100 family members locally that Im sure cast their votes. lol Oh and I was disapointed that I could not go to the Government office and see what the official results where posted there on the door like they were in the past. I guess thats progress.

that's because nobody said anything about it. It was in the newspaper 2 weeks ago and not a word since. sounds like someone didn't want the public to know, that a much better candidate by the name of L. Carlise jr. was running against the two imcumbents. He would have been a much better choice as the other two were self serving and special groups only. they don't serve the citizens. never have. elections should be held on the weekends anyway not the weekday, now we have to wait another full term to get rid of these two and replace someone confident in their place
