Dave Freneaux Angling to Be Mayor Pro-Tem On January 1

The controversial editor who is running for City Council in District 3 Nov. 6 has more than good government in mind when he attacks candidates running for the City Council in other districts, several Council candidates said this week.
Dave Freneaux, editor of Central Speaks, is backing a slate of candidates for the City Council and using his publication to disparage others.
What’s really going on, according to three candidates Freneaux has attacked, is that Freneaux plans to run for Mayor Pro-Tem when the new Central City Council sworn in January 1. He would need to get elected to the Council himself along with at least three of the Council candidates he is backing.
“He’s behind David Barrow for Mayor,” one candidate said, “but his real agenda is to get four votes on the Council and control what it does. This could paralyze Mayor Jr. Shelton and put the City of Central in gridlock for the next four years.”
For most of its 13-year history, the City Council worked closely with the Mayor, but in the 2010-2014 period, a fight over access to public records split the Council 3-2.
