4-year-old becomes mayor of Minnesota town

A 4-year-old boy from Minnesota is the new mayor of his town.

Robert Tufts was elected for the position last year and will now run Dorset for the next 12 months.

Tufts was selected as mayor after his name was drawn at the ‘Taste of Dorset’ festival.

Dorset is a small town with a population of 22 and is considered as ‘Restaurant Capital of the World’ as it has the largest number of restaurants per capita.

This is the story that keeps on giving, first you find out that a 4-year-old has been made mayor, then you find out that he got the job via a raffle, then you find out that the town has just 22 people living in it, and, finally, has the most restaurants per capita.

I’m guessing this town has one restaurant, or it will be something stupid like every adult in the town has a one and the real number is actually 15.   

Also I’d very much like to know exactly what duties the mayor is required to do in such a small place, make the tough call as to which restaurant everyone in town dines at for the evening.

I bet there is a couple in Dorset who have just had a baby and are thinking enjoy your term while it lasts Tufts because next year our child will be mayor and steer this town back to the good ol days when there were just 9 of us, we cursed the day when resident number 10 showed up and it’s been downhill ever since.

Please don’t ask where I’m getting these numbers from because I have no idea.
