There will be no waiting up
late this November waiting for election results in Palmetto.
City Administrator Bill Shell
said this week the city will not be holding an election Nov.4.
The reason?
Patti Hughes, 42, was the only
candidate challenging the three City Council incumbents; Joyce Baker,
Thomas Morrow and Leon Sumlin in the City Council races. But, Shell said,
the city received a letter from Hughes this week saying she was dropping
out of the race for "personal reasons."
Since Mayor Clark Boddie is
facing no opposition in his race, the election has been cancelled.
Shell said the city would have
to absorb the $400 cost of the ballots that were already printed in anticipation
of the election.
