Maybe the public thinks they are doing a great job. Or maybe nobody wants their jobs.
Either way, the three incumbent city council members up for re-election will not face any challengers in April’s citywide election.
Current city council members Larry Lampe, Marty Seipel and Paul McPhillips, Sr., will be the only people on the ballot for three open seats on the council this spring. They were the only candidates to file by the Jan. 27 deadline.
The current council has been overseeing the design and bidding process for a new sewer plant. The council recently completed that process, and construction is expected to begin in the next few weeks.
With only three candidates, a February primary was not required. The general election will be held April 6. |
