Defeated

I feel so very sorry for John Millar today. He's the Clearview township Ward Two candidate who lost the municipal election two weeks ago by one vote. I'm not weighing in on whether Millar or the winner, Orville Brown would be a better representative, but the way it happened has got to be embarrassing. I bet Millar feels pretty bad about the whole thing.

Ward Two encompasses Duntroon, and when Millar filed his nomination papers, that's where he lived, although his house was up for sale and he was planning a move to Creemore. The way I understand it, the house sold and closed during the election campaign and Creemore is where the Millars voted, not in their previous home ward. Neither he nor his wife voted in Duntroon. He lost by one vote, when he could have won by one. That's got to hurt.
