Introduction

Many towns in Bavaria have new leaders and new helpers.

Main Body

In Munich, the leader has five helpers now. This is because many people live there. Nicola Gerhardt is the main helper. In Starnberg, the leader also has five helpers. In Freising, Susanne Hoyer is the new leader. Some people are angry because the helpers get more money. In Neubiberg and Aschheim, the towns chose their mayors. Some people stayed in their jobs and some people changed.
