Melton renounces run for alderman spot

Butler resident and business owner Jason Melton contacted Bates County Live this morning to inform us that he has chosen to remove himself from the Ward 3 alderman race. Melton stated that a recent upswing in his business, although a good thing, may not allow for quality time as an alderman and wants to insure that his customers continue to receive the best service possible.

Jason did mention that he would consider another run in two years, providing he could devote his time fairly.
