After Dec. 31, Kevin Phillips can solely focus on being the MLA of the Melfort constituency.
The mayor of Melfort sent a letter to council Monday indicating he would give up the mayor’s chair effective Jan.1.
Phillips could have left immediately, but that would have triggered a byelection, something he decided wasn’t in the best interest of the city.
“I talked to so many people in the last couple months — voter fatigue and also monetary considerations, as far as the cost of a byelection (are concerns), so I tried to look at it from all angles,” he said.
