STOCKTON - Given the turnover in Stockton's City Council from Tuesday's election, City Manager Bob Deis will next have to decide if he wants to remain in town or call it quits. He's threatened to leave before.

Deis, 56, isn't talking. But his decision more than likely depends on the support he receives from the newly elected leadership. In January, a majority of the seven-person City Council he works for will have changed.

His departure could spell turmoil for a city already at battle in bankruptcy court and besieged by street violence.
