Somebody has to do the job. What's the worst that could happen?

If you believe in our system, you should have no problem...they were voted in by the citizens of the town.
There should be no restrictions on who can run or be elected for any office, as long as they are voted in fairly.
It is called the will of the people...
If people could actually vote a dog in as president, at least the people spoke up for what they wanted and they often get what they deserve.

I would have more faith in the decisions of a 19 y.o. then what I see with Mayor Gavin Newsom.

I think thats great. Seriously.
It's hard enough getting young people to VOTE. The fact that they are trying to make a difference is astounding.

I hope it's a small town with a professional city manager.

They must have some mentally lame voters there or else the other candidates are really really bad.

It has been done before. Age is nothing but a number. I know a lot of dumb and immature 50 year olds. so Age has nothing to do with it.
