Dog and goat vie for honorary mayor of Vermont town It's Lincoln the goat versus Sammy the dog in the race for honorary mayor of one Vermont townFAIR HAVEN, Vt, -- It's Lincoln the goat versus Sammy the dog in the race for honorary mayor of one Vermont town. The Nubian goat had won the post in Fair Haven, Vermont, last year after the town manager came up with the pet mayor election to raise money to rehabilitate a community playground and to get kids civically involved. “In Fair Haven, just like everywhere else, voter participation is not always as high as we want it,” said Town Manager Joe Gunter. Her granddaughter got her picture taken with the goat mayor and loved it, she said. The town announced the goat would run again after police debuted Sammy's campaign.
