SPECIAL ELECTION REPORT..........
Low turnout is expected in today's special election to fill the vacant Progressive's Alderman at Large postion on the Board of Alderman.
The three candidates, former Alderman Jack "Permits" Connelly, tri-try candidate Marty Martinez, and newcomer and drinking buddy of Alderman Bob Trane, Bob Daut, all hit the pols early this morning, vying for the $25,000.00 annual windfall.
Our Cambriville reporters will be covering today's election event and will bring you all the latest happenings as they occur.
But just in case they don't get out of bed until tomorrow, here are the results.
Martinez - 54% of ballots cast
Connelly - 42% of ballots cast
Daut - 4% of ballots cast
We could be wrong. We have been in the past. Once.
Stay tuned.....................

I guess Connolly wasnt happy just with his "made up" title that came with health care benefits at a cost to the taxpayers !

I know WHERE I'm supposed to vote, but I don't know WHO to vote for. I was out of town on debate night. Marty stopped at my house a few weeks back and personally asked for my vote. Goes a long way, but clearly I have no idea what the differences between these guys are.
