Vice Mayor Dickenson...

Vice Mayor Bill Dickenson was convicted last week. He was found guilty of domestic violence and his sentencing is slated for early January. We learned that he doesn't intend to step down -- and in fact wants to take his turn at the Mayorship of Belmont. He still maintains his innocence in a follow-up story...

If he becomes the Mayor of Belmont -- that would make the City a laughing stock, obviously. But also, what if he does become Mayor between now and sentencing, and then get sentences to jail time. Perhaps he could tele-conference into the Council meetings from his cell?
