Lincoln aldermen to select new mayor after incumbent quits

LINCOLN, Ill. (AP) – Aldermen in the central Illinois city of Lincoln are expected to meet this week to choose a new mayor after the incumbent resigned last week. In announcing his resignation Friday on social media, Seth Goodman blamed the political climate for his decision. The Lincoln City Council is scheduled to meet Tuesday evening, when several aldermen say the body will choose Goodman’s replacement. Alderman Tracy Welch announced plans in September to run for mayor. He said Monday he hopes to have support from his fellow aldermen to succeed Goodman.
