A Fifth Dead Mayor

The decrease in my posting combined with the increase in attacks on municipal presidents mean that an astonishingly high percentage of my recent posts have been focused on episodes like this one: a mayor in Tancítaro, Michoacán was found stoned to death along with his personal secretary earlier today. The official in question, Gustavo Sánchez, was not a member of any political party, and was an elementary school teacher who had taken the job in an interim capacity late last year.
