Mechanic Puts Screws to Incumbents

(New Buffalo, MI) - Hometown candidates in New Buffalo won all three of the open seats on the City Council in a landslide.

 

Roger Lijewski received over 600 votes while John Humphey and Brian Flanigan were next in line with well over 400 votes apiece.

 

Incumbents Mark Kroll, Robert Spirito and Karen Billingsley received anywhere from 369 to 277 votes.

 

Lijewski, who has been in a legal battle with the city over his plans to expand his Roger’s Wrecker Service, led the charge to give the incumbents the hook. 

 

Humphrey and Flanigan ran with Lijewski against the current members of the City Council.
