Voters in the Indianapolis suburb of Fishers have approved a ballot measure, making the town of 80-thousand people a second-class city, with an elected mayor.
Traditional cities have an elected mayor, six district councilors, and three at-large councilors. Fishers' voters overwhelmingly rejected a different plan that would have turned the community into a hybrid city with an appointed mayor.
The competing proposals have divided many town residents.
