In Rogers City, the terms of Patty Pike and Dana LaBar expire June 30. As of Tuesday morning, Pike, who is completing her first term in office, was the only candidate to file petitions. Two candidates, Allan Smolinski and Armand Loiselle, picked up petitions this week in an attempt to get their names on the ballot. LaBar, who has served two four year terms, has decided to not seek re-election.
