Jim Imbriaco, Republican
What is it they say? “You could look it up.” Jim Imbriaco just won the Clinton Township Republican Primary. Henry Kuhl, chairman of the Republican Committee, gave him the party line after his Executive Committee voted to give the line to incumbent Republican Steve Krommenhoek.

Lying to get elected, Borkowski style
In an expected end-of-the-campaign dirty trick, the Imbriaco, Marra, Peck team has sent a letter to voters proclaiming that Clinton Township’s affordable housing plan is no good — and that they will build all our affordable housing on Windy Acres.

Don’t believe everything you hear. Look for evidence. Look at the record. It’s astonishing what some candidates will claim — and even what some newspaper [...]
