The newest candidate for Springfield city treasurer says the opening is an unexpected one. Bill McCarty is the city budget director and the third candidate to announce.
“This is a race that I expect and intend to win,” said McCarty, a onetime Williamsville mayor. “This is a race that I am well positioned for. It’s a race that i have been getting ready for for now over twelve years, so, certainly, I have experience, and I look forward to using that experience to help me in this race.”
The job comes open because incumbent Misty Buscher is running for mayor. McCarty says there is nothing like being accountable to the voters.
Deputy treasurer Colleen Redpath Feger and park board trustee Lisa Badger have already announced for next spring’s city election.
