JANESVILLE—Janesville City Council member and incumbent Frank Perrotto was unseated tonight, possibly a victim of partisan politics.

Perrotto blamed an argument between himself and Councilman Yuri Rashkin, who is a Democrat and a vocal supporter of union rights.

Newcomers Deb Dongarra-Adams and Sam Liebert and incumbents George Brunner and Russ Steeber will be seated on the council.

Name calling and unsound judgements have no place in the political landscape. It is great that the voter has a voice!

Time to update the resume, Karen. Seven unsuccessful runs!

Welcome to Councillors Dongarra-Adams and Liebert. It is always refreshing to see new faces interested in local governance.
