Port Huron Mayor Anita Ashford is shaking up the city council’s seating chart starting at next Monday’s meeting. The new arrangement moves several council members to different spots, aiming for what the mayor calls a more “harmonious” vibe. City Manager James Freed questions the timing and reasoning, worrying it might look like punishment for members who’ve recently clashed with the mayor. Traditionally, seats were based on seniority. Some councilors say they’re puzzled by the switch but insist it won’t change how they do their jobs.
