Mayor breaks deadlock, Kassis elected president

Mayor Bill Brandt broke a 4-4 tie and returned Tim Kassis to the post of council president Wednesday. Action came at the Common Council’s regular May meeting. The election had been held over following the council’s reorganizational meeting in April, when Kassis and Bugni were deadlocked 4-4 over several ballots. Brandt broke the same deadlock, swinging his decision to Kassis because, he said, he was the incumbent and had been voted into the position in the past. Full story: Antigo Daily Journal
