Christina Hall is a reporter covering Macomb County at the Detroit Free Press. She says while Warren politics have been “very rough and tumble” for the past several years, the results of this election could signal a better working relationship between city council and the mayor’s office.
“I don’t know if there’ll be as much debate or angst potentially, between the incoming mayor and the incoming Council,” said Hall.
