The results of the second MyRye.com city council poll are complete. Team French - Richard Filippi, Peter Jovanovich and Suzanna Keith - all showed polling improvements from our first poll but not enough to pose a serious challenge against Team Otis.
Team Otis - Andy Ball, Myles Lavelle and Joe Murphy - showed moderate declines from the first MyRye.com city council candidate poll, but not enough to threaten their hegemony.

Word on the street is that The Sound Shore News had robust poll participation and pretty good controls over its polling data and when all the votes were in, Doug French and his slate had topped Team Otis by over 300 votes.
But unlike with MyRye where Mr. Otis was satisfied with the results, the unfavorable counts at The Sound Shore News sent Mr. Otis scrambling into Mr. Sturman’s office to demand the results be spiked as inaccurate. He got his way. We feel for Mr. Sturman, Otis can be like a spoiled brat.
Sturman though, like any abused proprietor, may have gotten the last and better laugh.
In that week’s cover photos, Doug French and Suzanna Keith are shown smiling on Purchase Street with kids and balloons.
Otis meanwhile sits alone in a folding chair in front of a memorial monument that looks curiously like – a grave.
Happy Halloween!
