Watsonville voters could shift city's direction in 2010

WATSONVILLE -- Watsonville voters will get a chance at changing the direction of their city in November.

Four seats on the City Council are up for election, and the holders of two others are seeking higher office.

If Mayor Luis Alejo and Councilman Emilio Martinez are successful in their bids for state Assembly and county Board of Supervisors, respectively, six of the seven council seats could be up for grabs.

In any case, with a majority of seats in play, the balance could shift on a council that often splits 4-3 on important votes.

So far only Mayor Pro Tempore Nancy Bilicich has committed to running for her seat. Other incumbents either are termed out or undecided.
