Brighton Township Says Farewell to Deputy Clerk

Though Brighton Township Deputy Clerk Lucille Weaire will be retiring from her position with the township as of Wednesday, she won't be going very far.

In fact, Weaire plans to run for election to the Brighton Township Board of Trustees this year.

"I thought, OK, we've got a terrific elections committee, so that's under control," she said. "I didn't want to compromise that office, with my name on the ballot, touching the ballots, processing, handing, sending them out, I just didn't want to compromise that office.

Weaire began working with the township as a part time employee in 2003. She said she knows what is happening in the township because she has been to all of the Township Board meetings, except the budget meetings.

Brighton Township Clerk Ann Bollin said Weaire's retirement was bittersweet.

"She's been loyal and very dedicated to Brighton Township," she said. "I'm going to miss her terribly.

Bollin said she is currently searching for a new deputy clerk.
