THE CONTEST FOR COUNTY SUPERVISOR JUST GOT A LITTLE LESS COMPETITIVE.

 

GRINNELL CITY COUNCIL MEMBER BYRON WORLEY HAS DECIDED AGAINST RUNNING FOR A COUNTY POSITION. HE CITES THE RECENT RESIGNATION OF STEVE WITT…AND POINTS OUT THAT FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBER LARRY WILSON IS ALSO RUNNING FOR COUNTY SUPERVISOR. HE SAYS IF HE AND WILSON WERE BOTH ELECTED, HALF THE CITY COUNCIL WOULD TURN OVER IN JUST A FEW MONTHS.

 

EARLIER THIS YEAR, WORLEY HAD ANNOUNCED HE WOULD RUN AS AN INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE FOR THE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. DEMOCRATS LAMOYNE GAARD AND ELLIE SNOOK ARE SEEKING REELECTION. THEY’LL FACE REPUBLICANS WILSON AND GENE LONG. THE DEADLINE TO FILE AS AN INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE IS AUGUST 25^TH.
