Local elections in spring will see lots of open spots for Port Washington, Saukville and School Board positions.
After nine years in office, Port Washington Mayor Scott Huebner has decided it's time to pass the baton to a new city leader when his position goes up for election next spring.

"Basically, it came down to my political beliefs that people shouldn’t be in political office forever," Huebner said.

It seems the Port Washington-Saukville School District is ready to follow social media trends as officials are exploring ways to use the online tools in the classroom. "I think the time has come for us as a school district to decide if, how and when we are going to utilize social media," Superintendent Michael Weber said. "I know there’s a way for us to do this, we just need to make sure we’re paying attention to what we’re doing and don’t get enamored by the technology itself and get carried away."
