Republicans Oust McLaughlin From RTC

In what I believe to be an unprecedented turnout, the Republican Town Committee held its caucus last night to elect 40 Members for its next two-year term. For sure, the attendance by 100 Republicans was due, in part, to the controversial prospect of removing "once-powerful" George McLaughlin from the Committee. No doubt the phones were ringing off the hook yesterday as the factions rallied their troops. In the end, despite support from buddy and Town Councilman Bob Guendelsberger, Mclaughlin failed to save his seat on the RTC.
