West Union councilwoman hands in her keys

Out of frustration, West Union Councilwoman Sharon Zimmerman resigned last night and handed in her Town Hall keys.  Zimmerman expressed concerns that the lack of town office workers has stymied the day to day business of town government.  But the council last night approved the hiring of replacements for two positions.  West Union also has a help wanted sign out for a new police chief.  John Bowen retires February 25.  Mayor Linda Oliver announced that for the next two months, Sheriff Mike Crenshaw will provide one of his officers as interim police chief.
