Village Incorporation Bid for Vermilion on the Lake Fails
Vermilion on the Lake villagers rejected a bid to incorporate last night by 65 to 16. The vote occurred between 6 and 8 pm under a special statute, seen as a win for the Vermilion on the Lake Syndicate which favored higher taxes and tighter rules. Former Municipal Judge Lucki of Lakewood led the movement, backed mainly by long-time district residents. If approved, the village would have elected a mayor, council, marshals and other municipal officers. Richard Horan, syndicate attorney, said the process would require further statutory steps. A statewide residency rule determined vote eligibility, prompting questions about who could vote two objections being raised about people voting who may reside elsewhere. Protests may follow over possible ineligible votes from the primary. The outcome stood as a petition-like defeat, with compliance required for any future move.
