Superior State of the City.

Here is were you can read the speech that Mayor Ross made last night. It is fairly length so I am not going to post the whole thing here. As I comment I may use parts of it. http://www.ci.superior.wi.us/documents/Mayor/2009%20State%20of%20the%20City%20Address.PDF.

Look for more later today on the State of the City from Superior Mayor Dave Ross.

Superior will have an open council seat as well.

Superior will have an open city council seat much like Duluth does now. Nick Milroy will vacate his council as he was elected to the Wisconsin Assembly.

I don't know how they will fill the seat. If you are interested you need to contact the Superior city clerks office.

From the Superior Telegram:

Milroy plans to serve out his term on the Superior City Council, which ends April 21. Even-numbered council districts are up for election this spring.


Anyone interested in filing nomination papers for Milroy’s seat should contact the City Clerk’s office at 715-395-720

Milroy currently represents the 8th district on the Superior city council.

Margaret Ciccone

After 31 years of service to the city of Superior Ciccone packs bags. Many of you will know the name of Margaret Ciccone when she was Mayor of the Superior. She was a victim of a recall vote. I did not always agree with her when she was the Mayor of Superior however thought the recall was out of this world. It was uncalled for.

She also held post of city clerk among others. She went back to her city clerk position after her recall as Mayor of Superior. She said her message would that you watch your government and be involved in it. Her last day on the job was Friday.

Best of luck and best wishes to her as she moves on to life after retirement.

Superior City Council

Yesterday was election day in Superior. Our friends across the bridge had there chance to vote on City Councilor's and that they did. There was only about 20% voter turn out, however in council races were there were challengers the voting was heavy.

The city of Superior will see a new look council much like Duluth has. As you remember in our last election we elected five new councilors. Superior last night elected four new councilors only one incumbent that had a challenger was able to hold on to there seat.

The fresh start for the City of Superior will start soon. I hope that they elected people that will bring positive change to there city. I hope it is not just a promise like I believe some of our city councilors did. They promised change and I am not sure will get that. Yes it is still early to tell but it is a gut feeling I have.
