CLEVELAND -- As of Monday night's Cleveland City Council meeting, Councilman Michael D. Polensek is the longest-serving official in Cleveland history.
As Polensek said, "34 years, nine months and 21 days...but who's counting?"
The previous recordholder was a councilman named Herman Finkle. Polensek has stood up for Collinwood all that time and says he's proud to be a career politician.
