             Williston’s elder statesman on the City Council is retiring.

            Councilman Elihu Ross’s announcement was carried in the Jan. 3 minutes of the council meeting.

            Ross holds Seat A on the council. The seat will be on the April 4 ballot.

            Also on the ballot are Seat B held by Marguerite Robinson and Seat C held by Councilman Michael Cox.

            Qualifying for the April 4 election will take place from Monday, Jan. 23 at noon, to Friday, Jan. 27 at noon.

            In the past, it was assumed if Ross decided to seek re-election, he would go into office without opposition. He always did. He was that popular.

            Now that he’s headed for retirement, nobody needs to worry about facing an unbeatable incumbent. He has served his time and then some.

            Congratulations on an outstanding career in public service.
