Illis/Machado Take Council, Joly/Akiri take BOE

It appears, based on the tickets we’ve seen, there was a “behind the scenes” write in campaign to take votes away from Sai (two names consistently came up).

It doesn’t appear to amount to much at all so far but I guess just enough to give her a lower count and maybe float a behind the scenes network strategy for next election.

We’ll be writing more about this as most of us have actually known about this throughout the campaign season (two seniors told us about one Council person who was pushing one name specifically to write in instead of Sai).

Either way its looking really good for Natasha and Sai so far.
