Flurry of filing at deadline creates races

Two of three races for spots on the Clear Lake City Council will be contested in the November election.

A flurry of filing before the Thursday, Sept. 17, deadline resulted with head-to-head battles for the First Ward, Third Ward and At-Large positions on the Council.  However, one candidate has since withdrawn his name.

Most of Clear Lake’s businesses and industries will soon have access to high speed Gigabit Internet service because of an extensive fiber optic network project this fall.

“This is the high speed Internet service that businesses across the nation are craving,” said CL Tel General Manager Tom Lovell.  “It provides the competitive edge that our local businesses need and is an important key to recruiting new industry.”
