The tie-breaking vote was held by independent Kenneth E. Reeves '72, who was the city's mayor for the previous four years. Although a former member of the CCA, he refused to cooperate with either party, by voting for himself or for junior councillors during the last two months...
Returning to Cambridge after law school, Reeves said he became involved with housing issues, which piqued his interest in politics.
Reeves ran for the city council in 1985 but lost. In 1989, he was elected and is now serving his fourth term as councillor. He was elected mayor in 1991 and was re-elected in 1993.
Despite the current gridlock on the city council, Reeves does not count himself out for a third term. He said after the speech that he intends to vote for "a good candidate" for mayor.
While members of the Cambridge Civic Association and the Alliance for Change have cast their four votes for members of their own party, Reeves, an independent, has generally voted for himself.
