Newton will have to wait a bit longer to know what its commission will decide in terms of government structure. The Newton City Commission reviewed the results of a resident survey conducted by the company FlashVote, but the results were not very definitive to some commissioners. The survey is covered at length in another article in this issue of the paper. Basically, 47 percent of the 229 respondents favored the city directly electing a mayor. However, 45 percent of respondents favored options where the mayor was chosen by commissioners to serve as mayor.
