One of the most controversial and colorful members of the City Council is not seeking re-election. Ald. Steve Holtzman, the District 19 alderman since 1995, did not submit nomination papers to the City Clerk’s Office by Tuesday’s 5 p.m. deadline.
Had Holtzman decided to stay in the race, he would have faced political newcomer Noel Radomski, who already has the endorsement of City Council President Brenda Konkel and is widely perceived to be a favorite of Mayor Dave Cieslewicz.
