7/23/14 - If Dexter becomes a city in November it will need a mayor, and one member of the village council wants to challenge the current village president for the title. Dexter voters will have the opportunity to approve a proposed city charter in the general election, and if they do Village Council Trustee Paul Cousins wants to become the first mayor. The Dexter Leader reports Cousins filed for the office just hours before the Tuesday deadline. He will be the only competition for Village President Shawn Keough, who announced his intention to become mayor more than a week ago. All of the other elected positions needed for the proposed City of Dexter are on the ballot as well, including a 6-member city council. Cousins says he discussed his intentions with Keough before filing. (TD)
