Pollington Changes Mind: Not Dropping Out of Saline City Council Race
The November ballot will once again have three Saline City Council candidates for three seats.
Bret Pollington submitted his nomination petition last week. Early this week, he announced he'd withdrawn from the race. But, according to City Clerk Terri Royal, he'd not yet done so. Thursday evening, confirmed that he planned to be a candidate in the election, along with incumbent Janet Dillon and Daniel Burgess.
Friday would have been the last day to withdraw from the ballot, Royal said.

Appreciate the interest in serving Saline. At this point, looks as though he will win by acclimation. Wonder what would happen if there were more candidates than spots. Without understanding why, it would be difficult to support a candidate who withdrew their interest then popped back in last minute.

As you can see by the picture, Bret is active in the city events and gives countless hours to his community. Now wants to take more time from his family and give more to our city. He wants to make Saline a better place. I applaud people who do more than just comment from their couch. Thanks Bret for your contributions. Glad to see you're back in the race.
