The mayor has been forced into an untenable position by Morgan, Weber and Pepper (MWP).  The mayor is the ONLY reason we still have a functioning City.
Example: April 2016 Morgan refused to bring the replacement of the outdated and failing water chlorinating system to a vote because it "benefited the developer", and Pepper backed her.  Neither of them are on City water so failure of the system would not affect them.  It was forced to a vote and passed when Weber, who is on City water, finally broke from them and voted to replace.
Weber's budget violated State law in many areas and was not balanced.  The State demands the budget be balanced.  The mayor cannot sign illegal legislation.  Benson had to veto it.
If the mayor had not been standing for the City, it would have been shutdown in 2016.  She has had to take steps simply to continue to provide services to the people of Black Diamond, the people that MWP have demonstrated they care nothing about.
We must retain Mayor Benson!
