Vermont Goat Elected Town Mayor; Beats Out Gerbil, Dog, For Office
Voters in Fair Haven, VT have spoken, electing a 3-year-old female goat named Lincoln to graze in the town offices as the new town mayor. The goat will take office on Tuesday.
According to the Associated Press, the folks of Fair Haven, a town of 2,500 that sits on the border with New York, do not have a human mayor, but the caprine mayor will reportedly do just fine as the town's "honorary pet mayor."
