Zoppo says she'll announce on May 21

City Councilor Ellen Zoppo said Friday she will decide next Thursday whether she'll enter the mayor's race or not. But she won't announce her plans until the Democratic Town Committee on Monday, May 21, which is being held at the Board of Education.
Zoppo said that she commissioned polls that she hoped to have done in March, but they had to be put off because of all the turmoil connected to mall and the "no confidence" vote that city councilors took to show their anger at Republican Mayor William Stortz.
She said, though, that the delay in polling did not effect her timetable for the campaign. She said she always planned to make a final decision about whether to run for mayor in May.
Democrat Art Ward, the longest-serving city councilor, is already in the race. Stortz hasn't said what he intends to do.
