Wheeling s soon-to-be-former village clerk unsuccessfully fought back tears this week as she was honored for her 24 years of public service.
Elaine Simpson even cautioned Village President Pat Horcher not to make her cry moments before he spoke about her municipal career during Monday s village board meeting.
Yes you will, Simpson responded and she was right.
Simpson, first elected in 1997, will leave office May 3. She chose not to run for reelection in April and will be replaced by political newcomer Kathy Brady.
