Chinatown/South Cove Neighborhood Council elects new members

By ling-Mei Wong

The Chinatown/South Cove Neighborhood Council (CNC) elected seven new council members on Nov. 25. A total of 2,260 voters turned out despite chilly weather to select the members, who make up a third of the 21-member council.

Three resident representatives were named: Kenneth Bennett, Majorie Eng and Shirley Lee. Nick Chau won to become the business representative and Felix Lui became the agency representative. In the other category, James Chan and Tony Quan became council members, beating WingKay Leung and Gilbert Ho.

All Chinatown and Massachusetts residents were eligible to vote in the CNC election. Voters had their hands stamped to prevent people from voting twice.
