Deputy Mayor Marcus Obeng was asked on Thursday whether he intends to run for mayor. What followed was, by the standards of Huburb City Hall, an announcement.
"I serve the mayor," Obeng began, and then, forty seconds later: "I am not not considering the future of this city."
Mayor Vantry, whose approval rating stands at 31%, said she was "delighted" by her deputy's ambition, and used the word "eventually" three times.
