, , Comments Off on “Vote Of No Confidence” Passes Against Mayor Jackie By Her Own City Council In Overwhelming Majority

It’s the first time this has ever happened in Fairfield Bay history.

Fairfield Bay’s own mayor, Jackie Sikes, has received a “vote of no confidence” by the city council in an overwhelming vote. Astonishingly, not a single city council person voted to defend Mayor Jackie Sikes amid allegations of wrongdoing, intimidation, and attempts to mislead the city council and the public with financial data. Jackie takes no responsibility and says “I have had it with my city council.” 

City Votes Against Mayor Jackie Sikes In Overwhelming Majority

The final vote is as follows:

4 votes against. 1 city council person abstained.

Mayor Jackie Sikes allegedly hid financial data from the public and misled the council using her family’s 501C3 non-profit.

Financial issues and intimidation were the reasons given by city councilman Roger Hooper in the announcement at the city council meeting before the vote was taken.

Mayor Jackie Sikes refuses to resign. Says it’s all “lies” and blames the city council for it:

“I have had it with my city council.”
