Ward Primaries Decide City Elections with Modest Turnout
Officials report a calm primary with 214 voters, Citizens Party candidate Chris Hussey leading with 186 votes and Gaed Government rival Braner at 43. Ward contests featured close alderman races, W. Vetter narrowly ahead of Wilkinson for Citizens clerk, and Norbury defeating Forsley while Schroeder beats Hareech for alderman. Two tax impact notes: primaries save the city about 140 dollars in costs, but the process costs roughly 70 dollars per vote.
