Zoo millage passed overwhelmingly. Parks passed too. Interim councilmember Janee Ayres finished first and will take on second place David Bullock in the election for the at-large Council seat. Janice Winfrey's primary campaign against John Conyers failed miserably. Conyers' grand-nephew Ian won the Dem. primary to fill Virgil Smith's State Senate vacancy. State Rep. Brian Banks survived a strong primary challenge, despite his big legal/financial problems. And ol' Robert Ficano made it to the general election in his campaign to become a Circuit Court judge.
