Erie City Council: Rubye Jenkins-Husband, Curtis Jones Jr, Dr Lonny Gatlin and Jim Thompson won seats. The re-elction of Thompson was the biggest disappointment of the night.

I'm really glad that Lonny Gatlin got that Council seat. He's been my dentist for a few years and is an excellent guy. I'm confident he'll bring some good things to our city.

Now that the “union puppet” Joe Sinnott has been officially elected. The City of Erie residents can expect a nice tax hike in the following year to hire back all the people Filipi laid off.

Of course he has to hire them all back. He promised them that he would if they would win him the election. Another typical politician bought and paid for by the union’s of erie.
