With all precincts counted, it appears all Hoffman Estates village board incumbents up for election Tuesday will retain their seats.
But while unofficial results indicate clear victories for Mayor Bill McLeod and trustees Karen Arnet and Karen Mills, it took until the last precinct was counted to push Trustee Michael Gaeta from 23 votes behind challenger Renee Robinson to 28 votes ahead of her.
Knowing the outstanding precinct was the one in which he lives, in the Haverford Place senior community, gave Gaeta confidence he would make up the deficit.
