Having won re-election to the Signal Hill City Council, Vice Mayor Larry Forester had every reason to look forward to being selected as our mayor for the coming year. For some time now, a regular rotation among the five councilmembers has been followed. Therefore, we, along with many others in council chamber, were shocked and outraged when councilmembers [Edward] Wilson and [Lori] Woods launched a verbal attack on Vice Mayor Forester, even requesting him to forego the position of mayor. In the end, happily, councilmembers [Mike] Noll and [Tina] Hansen voted in favor of Forester.
This failed political stunt is not going to be forgotten. Shame on councilmembers Wilson and Woods.
