In today’s run-off election, Ken Shelin garnered the most votes, with incumbent Lou Ann Palmer also securing a seat at the commission table. Incumbent Richard Martin finished third.
There has been discontent with the fast building pace in downtown Sarasota and the added traffic. It is apparent that this dissatisfaction translated into votes for Shelin.
Shelin’s promises for change will be closely watched by many factions within Sarasota. Whether his ability to effect change and whether the resulting change will be acceptable to voters remains to be seen.
We do have new leadership, and we congratulate the elected commissioners. We hope their visions are well articulated, well communicated and are in tune with the vision of the residents.
