Bria’s election was expected by many outsiders now there is a democratic majority now in place.
Quickly thereafter Caroline Thompson was nominated and elected by council to be vice president, also unanimously.
Yardley Councilpersons Kim Segal-Morris and John McCann were sworn in by the Hon. Gary Gilman.
Ria told LBS Tuesday he expects the remaining vacancy “to be done no later than mid -February at the latest.”
