Talamantes, Frutos, on track for re-election in Burbank Primary

By on Wednesday, March 1, 2017

It’s not over yet, but two incumbent Burbank City Council members appear to be on track for re-election. In yesterday’s Burbank Primary Election, Mayor /Council member, Jess Talamantes, and Council member, Bob Frutos, were the only two candidates to receive at least 50 percent of the ballots plus one vote, which is the requirement for victory.

2013 election results 2013 will be remembered as the year Burbank residents got fed up with the status quo, opened up those mail-in ballot packets from the City Clerk’s Office, and voted by the thousands for change in the Media City. Historic. Decisive. Profound. The meaning of the voters’ decision in both the primary and general elections will be felt throughout B-town for a long, long time.

My ballot is in the mail, what about yours?

City Clerk’s Office: This drop off center will be open tomorrow, Saturday 9 a.m.... Read More →

City Buzz: Frutos wins big in primary, run-off surprises, and ballot count debacle

By on Thursday, February 28, 2013

Burbank voters have spoken loud and clear. What did they demand? Change on the Burbank City Council, where an entrenched council majority, led by 20-year- incumbent, Dave Golonski, is now on shaky ground. The reason, the election of Bob Frutos, who was the only candidate to win a seat on the council in Tuesday’s Primary Nominating Election. A candidate must receive 50 percent plus one of the votes in order to win the election. The three incumbents, Mayor Dave Golonski, and Councilmen Jess Talamantes and David... Read More →
