US town has a four-year-old mayor!

May 12, 2013 14:01

A four-year-old US boy, who hasn't even passed kindergarten yet, is calling the shots as the Mayor in a small town in Minnesota. Robert Tufts was selected mayor last year of Dorset, a town in Minnesota, with a population of mere 22 people.

Residents say Tufts is a "ball of fire" and while the kid may not have the academic credentials for the job, they claim he's got the chops -- and the mouth -- to run the town, 'New York Daily News' reported.

"He's amazing. He's just completely amazing," said Kathy Schmidt, whose family has lived in the area for four generations. "He's right in your face and well-spoken. You can't imagine what a ball of fire he is," said Schmidt.

According to WCCO, the mayor can sing and dance with the best of them, he guides his citizens safely across the street, big stick in hand. He's also an expert fisherman and knows how to dole out advice about the best bait to use.
