Bell said he expects Huff and De Chiaro to succeed as a team. Its a good job in Pelham, Bell said. If they work together, theyre going to take care of Pelham. Huffs been there a long time. He can teach anybody.
Bell found out the results mere minutes after the polls closed at 9 p.m. Tuesday and said he was surprised by the high voter turnout.
In that kind of election, we never had that many, Bell said. If we had 600 we had a lot.
