Stovall won't seek
re-election to court
"Throw the gate wide open and let everybody who wants to
run for this office put their names in the hat," Melvin Stovall,
Brown County Commissioner, Pct. 3, said this morning.
He has served for the past seven years and has one more year
to go to finish his second four-year term.
"I will not run for this office, beginning 1981 through 1984,” he
said.
"I would like to at this time have the opportunity to thank each
and everyone of you for the support that you have given me. I
have given all of my working time and more to this position. I
have made all of the court meetings except one, and I was in the
hospital that day. Thanks to all of you." be said.
