DELTONA -- The election isn't for years, but already the former mayor of Deltona says he wants his old seat back.
John Masiarczyk was Deltona's first mayor and served for 10 years.
But Masiarczyk said after leaving City Hall debt free, current Mayor Dennis Mulder has caused things to go down hill.
Masiarcyk cited the recent controversy over Deltona starting it's own police force as just one example of the trouble.
“Deltona has become, if you wanna do it the wrong way, just watch the way Deltona does it," said Masiarczyk.
Mulder, though, said his predecessor has it all wrong.
“I would say Deltona doesn't need rescuing,” said Mulder. “It might could avoid some sabotaging by, you know, that group.”
The next mayoral election in Deltona will be in 2010.
