Democrats don't have much to complain about when it comes to Senate confirmation of President Obama's judicial appointments, but some of them are doing it anyway. As pointed out by Associated Press Writer Larry Margasak, of the 27 judicial nominations Obama has made so far, all five brought up for votes in the Senate have won relatively quick confirmations. This includes new Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

Westland voters gave incumbent Mayor William Wild a double victory after the votes were counted Tuesday — he was unopposed on the ballot in a bid for re-election and his slate of endorsed candidates were all elected. Jumping from a fifth-place finish in the August primary election, Meriem Kadi was the top vote-getter, followed by Christine Cicirelli Bryant who was the first-place finisher in the primary, the sole incumbent in the race Dewey Reeves and Adam Hammons. All but Hammons earned four-year terms on council — the fourth-place candidate serves a two-year term.

I was fortunate not to have to do much campaigning. I was able to help the other council candidates   -William Wild

 

There will definitely be new faces seated on the Westland council after voters go to the poll Tuesday. Incumbent Mayor William Wild is unchallenged on the printed ballot. Jeffery Hayton and Angelo Stocchi have both filed to run as write-in candidates for mayor.
