City Council President Mike McGuinness was elected Tuesday as Pontiac’s new mayor, defeating former City Councilor Kermit Williams.
McGuinness has said he wants to rebuild public operations, like cleaner streets, unclogged drains, and better road conditions streets to keep moving Pontiac forward.
McGuinness will lead a financially struggling city that now has a $49 million fund reserve.
In Southfield, with most precincts reporting, incumbent mayor Ken Siver is leading challenger City Council member Sylvia Jordan by a comfortable margin.
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story said Pontiac voters approved a library bond proposal. Pontiac did not have a library bond proposal on the ballot.
