Superior WI City Council: Democracy with a Dash of Drama
Welcome to the Superior City Council, where local governance meets small-town reality TV. This band of elected officials is responsible for making big decisions, like whether to fill that massive pothole on Tower Avenue or just turn it into a tourist attraction.
Comprised of folks who genuinely love Superior—and occasionally love to hate each other—the council is a colorful mix of lifelong locals, political rookies, and the occasional power couple. Meetings are part policy, part performance art, and always a little unpredictable.
