FLINT, MI -- The Flint City Council is running out of time to appoint a replacement for one of their own -- the late 3rd Ward Councilman Quincy Murphy -- if members want to follow the city’s charter.

Murphy died on Sept. 29, creating the vacancy, and council members were scheduled to interview candidates to replace him during a special meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 23.
