The headline has been fixed. Even I read over it last night, and I've been watching for that typo for 25 years! Thanks for pointing it out.

I sure hope the city is going to bill Windish for the cost of the recount. Its not like the initial tally was 438 windish to 440 murdock. ITS WAS MURDOCK 440 AND WINDISH 47 LOLOLOL. Did Windish truely think that he was going get a close to 400 vote swing in the recount???? lol I am glad that he did not win (either initially or on the recount) as his total lack of respect for the financial situation of the city of cyrstal clear at this point. Oh and AA.com. its YPSILANTI not YSPILANTI like it says in the headline, LOL. WOW (my 10 year old caught that mistake reading over my shoulder!!!!!)
