Quiet Municipal Primaries Spark Pomeroy and Middleport

Pomeroy results show mayor and clerk seats largely decided, several council hopefuls advancing, and multiple candidates tallying votes for marshal. Middleport focus centered on marshal and village treasurer as Republican contenders vied for top posts.
