Progressives to hold slight majority on new Salem City Council

Next year, decisions about the future of Salem’s development, budget and services will likely fall to a Salem City Council which progressives control.

The latest primary election results show likely wins by two of Progressive Salem’s candidates, who will join several sitting councilors also recruited by the group. When they take office in January, there will be at least five progressives on the nine-person council, maintaining a years-long majority streak.

That’s without an outcome…
