OK so local politics got wacky for the primary.

Bob Harper won handily, but a little reported statistic shows a challenger who did a terrible job and didn't even talk to the newspapers, got 2,400 votes. That has to show that a lot of people dislike Mr. Harper.

Sexton wins over current assessor, but Dems turn around today and appoint a 74 year old township assessor who was going to retire, but now wants to protect the "lifers' club.

Murphy and Bucko look good.

Council will stay 4-3 Dems, but Bucko will be able to exert some leadership on behalf of growth.

Gensel and Dick and Ayres and Trinkle and Murphy all uncontested as Republicans.

Makes one wonder what the Dem Chair does with his free time?
