Big Sandy Mayor to Step Down

BIG SANDY – In a surprise move, Big Sandy Mayor Wayne Weese has announced he was resigning. He made the announcement at last night’s city council meeting. Weese has been in city government for the past ten years, the last five of those as mayor. He said feels mayors of small towns need to either be independently wealthy or retired. So he said it’s been difficult to juggle his duties in the city and his full time job. He told KETK-TV he had to cancel more and more appointments as mayor and he has been thinking about stepping down for the past few months. Weese says he won’t be stepping down until after the upcoming election this spring.
