Election results, a city manager’s exit and a store closing

My role at the Herald Times Reporter has changed a bit, and I now cover local government elections and the crime beat — in addition to writing business and feature stories. That means I’ll have a greater variety of news to share in these twice-monthly newsletters. Election results drew the most readers Y’all probably were aware there was an election a week ago. My two best-read stories were election results stories for Manitowoc County and Sheboygan County. Check them out if you’d like to see how people in those counties voted in national, state and local elections. Two Rivers city manager resigns We also did several stories about Two Rivers City Manager Kyle Kordell.

Read last week's column: How circuit riders led to a 175-year-old Sheboygan Falls church | Throwback The Grand Army of the Republic was a prominent fraternal and veterans' organization formed by Union Army, Navy and Marine Corps veterans after the Civil War.
