Fred Reese selected for City Council
History is repeating itself for Fred Reese, who was appointed Thursday by Butler City Council to fill the open seat left by Mike Walter, who died in late March.
In 2019 Reese was similarly appointed to council. In that instance, he was filling the seat of a councilman who resigned.
In a unanimous vote, councilmen and Mayor Bob Dandoy agreed Reese was the best person to fill the seat because of his prior experience.
Reese had served on council in the early 2010s before being appointed again in 2019. He also has run for city mayor as a Republican candidate in the past election cycle.
