Choose a mayor
Editor, The Commercial:
Since we know very little about Vivian (Flowers) and her track record, we have vetted her (thoroughly investigating someone as if they were applying for a job). After this is done, the decision to hire or not to hire is made. She is applying for the job as mayor, and you don't want any surprises down the pike.
Your vote is secret. Your friends will not know how you vote.
