Perro es elegido alcalde en Minnesota

Perro es elegido alcalde en Minnesota
By 

Contributor

El nuevo alcalde de una ciudad en Minnesota tiene 7 años, es peludo y no habla mucho.

Esta semana, un perro llamado Duke fue elegido para el cargo público por los votantes en la pequeña ciudad de Cormorant. Cada uno de los 12 residentes pagó un dólar para emitir su voto, según los medios locales.

El Gran Pirineo aparentemente ganó la elección por goleada, superando a otro candidato humano para la alcaldía.

"El pobre Richard Sherbrook, que es propietario de la tienda Cormorant, ni si quiera tenía la mitad de los votos que recibió Duke", dijo la residente local Tricia Maloney a WDAY-TV.

Duke mantendrá su posición por un año tras ser investido oficialmente este sábado. ¿Su salario? Un suministro de comida seca para mascotas de un año, donado por una tienda local.

Ése sí es un político al que todos podemos respaldar.
