Chesapeake enters a new era with Krasnoff at the helm

The City of Chesapeake conducted a reorganization tonight as Mayor Alan Krasnoff took the oath of office and Vice Mayor John deTriquet was elected to serve in that position. Additionally, newly elected councilmembers Debbie Ritter and Rick West were sworn in, and Patti Willis, Cliff Hayes and Dwight Parker took the oath yet again.

Much of the rhetoric from the dais was polite and stressed unity, but the reality is that this council is as split as can be.
