To the Editor:

In response to recent comments by the person planning to run for a seat on the Harvey Cedars Borough Commission, I would like to clarify that in the commission form of government, the elected commissioners decide who will be mayor among themselves.

The thought of an individual receiving the most votes from the residents, who might be a first-time commission board member, automatically being named mayor might not be the best idea for our town.
