(Michigan City, IN) - The former mayor of Michigan City could run for mayor again but hasn’t decided if politics is in his future.
Ron Meer lost his bid for a third consecutive term by less than 100 votes in 2019. Ever since, Meer said he’s been doiing consulting work and keeping a return to politics in the back of his mind. “I’m keeping my political options open. I may run for something. It’s a long ways off yet,” he said.
Meer worked for the Michigan City Sanitary District for over 20-years prior to becoming mayor. If he does run for office again, Meer would likely face some political backlash for being charged several months ago with leaving the scene of a motor vehicle crash. That case remains undecided in the courts.
“The key word should be allegedly. It’s ongoing litigation and it’s going in the right direction,” he said.
