7/1/2005

PAULDING, Ohio - The central committee of the Paulding County Republican Party will meet Thursday to discuss how to fill the county treasurer's post in the wake of the announcement by Greig Edwards that he will not take office in September, when his term was to begin.

The Republican central committee will appoint a treasurer later this summer, GOP Chairman Tony Langham said.

Mr. Edwards, an accountant, cited undisclosed personal reasons for his decision not to become treasurer, Mr. Langham said.
