The day after election
The last City Council meeting before the elections is typically full of rancor. The first meeting after the elections is totally different. Everybody seems to love each other.
Mayor Don Kurth called his colleagues "mayor-elect Dennis Michael" and "council member-elect Diane Williams."
During the public comment portion, candidates Jim Moffatt and Luella Hairston offered hearty congratulations to the winners (Michael, Williams and Bill Alexander).
Even John Lyons, who once led a recall effort of Councilwoman Williams, called her "queen of Rancho Cucamonga." As the top vote-getter in a field of 10, Williams got upgraded from "library lady" to "queen."

King Biane is gone. Long live the Queen. Maybe we should change the name of the library to the Diane Williams library instead of the Biane library. Long live the Queen.
Is it just me or did anyone else feel happy not to see the smirking crook Gutierrez sitting in his throne at the council meeting,what a relief he's history. Good luck to the new mayor and returning council. Be honest many will watching you.
Wendy, maybe You know.
I really wonder what age groups that voted. The seniors always been good at this. I believe only about 25.000 people voted.
That's a good question, Mariann. I think the county is still busy certifying the results but they might release more demographics information later.
