Summerville mayoral election to replace retiring legend Berlin G Myers
After 10 terms in office, Berlin G Myers will not be on the ballot today for mayor of Summerville. And before I get too far into this post, Mr. Myers checked into Summerville Medical Center after feeling faint in church on Sunday and I want to send prayers and best wishes for his speedy recovery.
Three candidates are on the ballot, retired publisher of the Summerville Journal Scene, Bill Collins, physician Dr. Bill Lomax and real estate agent, Dickie Miler.
The town of Summerville has grown rapidly from the small town of 3000 people when the mayor took over to a sprawling suburb and bedroom community of Charleston while retaining its small town charm.
The newly elected mayor will have big shoes to fill and of course, no matter who you favor, the most important thing that you can do is exercise your right to vote. Polls are open 7AM to 7 PM.
