OVIEDO -- Mayor Dominic Persampiere and Council member Steve Henken were returned to their respective seats in this Seminole County city because they had no opponents when qualifying ended in September.
The return to office of the two Oviedo officials without opposition comes in at No. 68 in the Headline Surfer® countdown of the top 100 stories of 2013.
The Oviedo headline in the Google news directories was newsworthy for the tenure of Mayor Dominic Persampiere as shown in the Headline Surfer® offering online.
Though he had no opposition, Persampiere, who has served on the council since 2000, and is paid $13,436 as Oviedo's mayor, told reporters after qualifying ended, he was "humbled" nonetheless to be allowed to continue serving the municipality of 34,965. residents.
