COLUMBIA — With the help of Second Ward voters Tuesday, real estate agent Jason Thornhill closed the deal on his latest bit of prime property, the Columbia City Council seat left vacant by the retirement of 18-year incumbent Chris Janku.
But it was a squeaker. Thornhill, 38, won with 636 votes, or 51.2 percent, compared to opponent Allan Sharrock's 607 votes, or 48.8 percent.
