Mayor-Elect: Golf course controversy helped drive Council Bluffs election outcome
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (KMTV) — A debate about the future of a Council Bluffs public golf course may have played a pivotal role in Tuesday's mayoral election, where City Council member Jill Shudak defeated incumbent Mayor Matt Walsh.
KMTV talked to Shudak and incoming City Councilman Cole Button to discuss the changes coming to city government.
The mayor-elect says a plan to develop Dodge Park and the Riverside Golf Club into housing had a significant impact on the election outcome.
"Absolutely, it did. Not only my victory but my decision to run for mayor," Shudak said.
