Dacono residents seek local government reforms with their votes

BizWest: Voters in Dacono Tuesday completed a cleanup of their local government that began in February when four members of the council summarily fired the city manager without discussion.

Upset that the firing seemed to have occurred as a result of a secret meeting, city residents recalled two members of the council. One of the others, Danny Long, who had voted to fire the manager, could not be recalled because he had recently been elected, and the fourth, mayor pro-tem Kathryn Wittman, was up for re-election this November but chose not to run.

Voters were asked to select from among five candidates to fill two seats. As of 10 p.m. Tuesday, incumbent Doris Crespo had a commanding lead with 475 votes. Next closest candidate was Rick Gerk with 300 votes.
