SODAVILLE, Ore. (AP) — The city of Sodaville, Ore., has decided to replace its mayor. The reason: He never showed up.
The Albany Democrat-Herald reports (http://bit.ly/q6i2V5 ) 35-year-old mayor Brady Harrington missed council meetings in June and July, along with skipping three budget meetings.
Council president Nick Heineck was sworn in as mayor.
Heineck says Harrington was otherwise occupied as a firefighter and student, but would not commit to returning to meetings when council members reached him by phone this week.
Harrington also declined to resign. He was elected to his second term as mayor in November.
