A conversation wth Mayfield's first female mayor, Teresa Cantrell

Published: Nov. 5, 2010, 4 a.m.

Two weeks ago, we brought you a story on the tensions among Mayfield voters over that city's mayoral contest. Those tensions were in stark contrast to the actual conduct of the candidates themselves. The results are in now and the voters have elected long-time mayor's aide Teresa Cantrell to the city's top post. She defeated incumbent Mayor Arthur Byrn by almost a thousand votes. Cantrell will be Mayfield's first female mayor and she joins on the line now from her office in Mayfield.
