5 candidates qualify for S. Tahoe council race

Three people are challenging the two incumbents on the South Lake Tahoe City Council.

Clinton Schue and Austin Sass, who have run before, are in the race, as is JoAnn Conner.

Incumbents are Hal Cole and Bruce Grego.

Stacey Wheeler had pulled papers to run, but came up short in the number of required signatures to qualify for the Nov. 6 ballot.

“Though it’s frustrating to come so close and just miss the mark, it’s been a great experience and I think we have a good field of candidates to choose from,” Wheeler told Lake Tahoe News.
