Local elections are around the corner in Christian County and there are many positions available including City Clerk, several Alderman positions, and the biggest hole to fill will be the new city mayor. Mayor Greg Brotherton has officially said he thinks his time is up and he believes two terms as mayor is more than enough. Mayor Brotherton said a new mayor should be elected to bring new and fresh ideas to the city.

Brotherton also said he is worried about who the next mayor will be, and hopes it won't be like the current presidential election, where the most qualified people aren't stepping forward to make the commitment. He said there needs to either be an increase in the mayor's salary to interest qualified candidates, or the mayor should become part time, decrease the pay, and hire a city manager.  

The salary for the upcoming mayor will have to be decided by the second City Coucil meeting on October 17th. Mayor Brotherton appeared on the NEWSTALK WTIM Morning Show.
