Plymouth Township witnesses a shift in leadership
In a surprising turn of events in Plymouth Township, long-serving trustee, Chuck Curmi claimed victory over the present supervisor, Kurt Heise in the primary supervisor’s race, held on Tuesday, Aug. 6.
A lifetime member of Plymouth Township, Curmi, 69, garnered 2,609 votes, which translates to 57% of the total 4,607 votes cast. Heise, on the other hand, couldn’t secure his place with his 1,995 votes accounting for 43% of the total vote share.
