GREENVILLE Mayor

The Nov. 6 mayoral race pits a two-term incumbent against a political newcomer who is the leader of a Committee of Concerned Taxpayers group formed about two years ago in response to the borough's decision to implement a 20-mill tax increase over two years to fund recreation and other projects.
