(Michigan City, IN) - There’s been a change in leadership on the city council in Michigan City.

During its annual reorganization Tuesday night, Tracie Tillman was chosen as city council president for this year. She thanked her colleagues for their unanimous vote after she was nominated for the position.

“I just want to assure you that I will continue to carry on the responsibilities and the duties as the city council president.  I will be transparent. I will make sure that we carry forth and conduct ourselves in the public in a decent and orderly manner moving forward,” she said.

Tim Bietry was unanimously chosen as city council vice-president, replacing Tillman who held that position last year. The council president last year was Don Przybylinski.
