Mr Mayor

A town in Minnesota has a new mayor and he’s not even started school yet. In Dorset, 4-year-old Robert Tufts, who goes by the name of Bobbie, now takes all the decisions that matter. Every year the town picks a name out of a hat, and that person becomes the mayor for a year. Mayor Tufts enjoys his job. He likes to play, dance, sing, and talk to his townspeople, but he also likes to sneak off to the lake with his parents in his downtime and fish. He’ll give up his post in August, when another name will be pulled out of the hat.
