About this Article

Citing a difficulty working with four of Winfield's six trustees, Village President Deborah Birutis says she won't seek re-election in April. Birutis has been in a power struggle since spring 2011, when Tim Allen, Tony Reyes and Jim Hughes were elected to the village board. "It has been very difficult dealing with the four arrogant trustees," she wrote.
