This March 6, 2019, handout, courtesy of the Rutland Herald, shows Lincoln, a Nubian goat, who was elected 'Mayor' for the town of Fair Haven, Vt.The new honorary mayor of Fair Haven, Vermont – a 3-year-old goat named Lincoln – was officially sworn into office this week.
Lincoln was dressed in a sash reading “Mayor” for the Tuesday ceremony at the Fair Haven town offices. Town Clerk Suzanne Dechame and the select board were present to deliver the oath of office. Fair Haven, a town of about 2,500 along the border with New York just west of Rutland, does not have an actual mayor.Town Manager Joseph Gunter says the honorary pet mayor idea was conceived as a fundraiser for a playground, but it turned into a civics lesson for kids.
On the way out of the offices, the honorary mayor defecated on the floor – leaving cleanup to the police chief and other attendees.
I nominate Ophelia the River Rat as Ottawa's honourary mayor. She can chew threw glass, cinderblock, and metal. If she marshaled her troops, these talents could save the city millions in construction costs. Rats can also swim for up to 3 days, a plus during flood rescues.
Probably will run for President as Democrat!!
