Republicans sweep City Council races
By Joseph Slacian
 
For the first time in as long as many can remember, one political party will fill all the seats on the Wabash City Council.
 
Republican candidates captured four contested city council races on Tuesday, and had two uncontested GOP candidates, meaning the Republicans will fill all seven council seats for the next four years. 
 
City Court Judge Tim Roberts, a Republican, was unopposed in his bid for re-election, making incumbent Clerk-Treasurer Wendy Frazier the lone city official who is a Democrat.
 
Republicans Marc Shelley and Bryan Dillon captured the two at-large seats up for election, while Aaron McClary won the council’s 2nd District seat, Bob Greene won the 3rd District seat and Doug Adams won the 5th District seat.
 
Mitch Figert and incumbent Bonnie Corn were unopposed for the 1st District and 4th District seats, respectively.

By Joseph Slacian
 
Three more structures were ordered to be razed by the Wabash Board of Public Works & Safety in the city’s effort to get rid of unsafe buildings.
 
One site is a home at 758 Spring St., while the other two are one-story structures located at 1 Bent Court. A two-story structure at the Bent Court location was saved, at least for now.
 
Meanwhile, the board received detailed plans from Harold Burns, who is refurbishing a home at 645 Washington St.
 
The owner of the Spring Street home, KAJA Holdings of Columbia, S.C., was given 30 days to raze the home and unattached garage. If not done, the city will begin the process of having the structures removed.
