What a surprising development. Opposing Primary candidates of the present Gloucester City Mayor and Council submitted a petition today (Tuesday) to the City Clerk requesting a referendum be placed on the ballot to change the present form of government to a Council-Manager form of municipal government. The petition contained 260 signatures.
Besides those signatures the names of Maggie Gorman-Kain, Shawn Green, Noreen Renzi, Wil Levins , Walt Jost, and William Dilks appeared at the bottom of the petition. Gorman-Kain, Green, Renzi are running in the June Democratic Primary election opposing incumbents Councilmen Nick Marchese (2nd Ward), Jay Brophy (3rd Ward) and Dan Spencer who is backed by the Democrat Club for First Ward council seat. Levins , is the 2nd Ward Independent councilman candidate, Jost is a former City Republican Mayor, and Dilks is the former city school board solicitor. Political Donnybrook on the Horizon
