FAIR HAVEN, Vt, -- It's Lincoln the goat versus Sammy the dog in the race for honorary mayor of one Vermont town.
The Nubian goat had won the post in Fair Haven, Vermont, last year after the town manager came up with the pet mayor election to raise money to rehabilitate a community playground and to get kids civically involved.
“In Fair Haven, just like everywhere else, voter participation is not always as high as we want it,” said Town Manager Joe Gunter.
Resident Cheryl Daviau said the race has gotten children involved in the election process. Her granddaughter got her picture taken with the goat mayor and loved it, she said.
To up the ante, this year the police chief nominated K-9 Sammy, a German Shepherd, who visits local schools daily with a resource officer, attends concerts in the park and is beloved around town.
The town announced the goat would run again after police debuted Sammy's campaign.
Both Lincoln and Sammy are popular so it could be a tight race.
"We're definitely look more forward to Sammy winning the race," said Sharai Thayer, who has three kids in school. The friendly canine sits at the school when the kids are going in and out and even goes through the halls, she said.
A driver who was stopped for inspection violation on Friday told the police chief that he was voting for the dog.
The election is on March 3. People pay $1 to vote and a GoFundMe page has been set up to raise more funds for the playground. Last year, $200 was raised from the race, according to Gunter. Combined with other donations the town has about $10,000 of the $80,000 needed for the playground, he said.
The position comes with responsibilities, said Gunter. The mayor “marches in parades, manages the playground fund, and on occasion meets with the Board of Selectmen, just to keep an eye on them,” he said by email.

Okay - ya beat me to it!Stephen King axes Facebook over misinformation
Legendary author slams the "flood of false information" Facebook allows in its political advertising.
Here's a quote from Forbes:
Stephen King is just the latest big name to delete his Facebook account. Other celebrities who have quit the social network include pop singer Cher, Star Wars actor Mark Hamill, actor Will Ferrell and wealthy businessman Elon Musk.
As the #DeleteFacebook movement continues to gain pace, celebrities aren’t the only people quitting. The figures show people are leaving Facebook in droves: the social network’s active users are falling, so even if people haven’t actually deleted their accounts, they have stopped posting and engaging regularly.
Personally I do find an awful lot of garbage on there and hardly ever visit any more.

I'm quitting Facebook. Not comfortable with the flood of false information that's allowed in its political advertising, nor am I confident in its ability to protect its users' privacy. Follow me (and Molly, aka The Thing of Evil) on Twitter, if you like.
Those have nothing to do with us, though. His official FB pages are shuttered.
