In a surprise move during Wednesday night's emergency council meeting, Councillor Kenneth E. Reeves '72, the former mayor, cast his ballot for Galluccio, who is one of four councillors elected last November under the conservative Alliance for Change slate.
Reeves' ballot would have provided the fifth and decisive vote for Galluccio had the three other Alliance councillors followed suit. Acting Mayor Francis H. Duehay '55 has consistently received the support of the four liberals endorsed by the Cambridge Civic Association (CCA).
"I'm upset they decided to pass up our only opportunity so far to have an Alliance mayor," said Galluccio, who had supported Russell until Reeves' surprise vote Wednesday.
Reeves said that Harvard "duped" the council when it proposed the arcade renovations three years ago.
After hearing the vendors' complaints, Reeves introduced a motion to schedule meetings between University and city officials to discuss the Holyoke Center arcade. The motion passed unanimously.
