We will see new faces on both the Germantown Village Board as well as on the Germantown School Board. It is good to see that only a single seat is uncontested. Obviously Art Zabel must be seen as unbeatable and that is fine, but it is good to see fresh blood in the game every so often. That tends to keep everyone a bit more on their toes than might otherwise be the case.
