Though a civic hero, he faced tough competition to become the first mayor of the new government. The 1973 general election night totals gave victory to the challenger by last than one vote per district - but the recount held a surprise...Finished in the days before his death in 2014, Foster's story paints a vivid picture of Lexington politics 40 years ago, and reveals how many fundamental features of current-day Lexington truly hung in the balance in this closest election in the city's historyWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
