It is the rare politician who is able to step away from his position and receive nothing but praise from his colleagues and constituents.
Count Bob Gale as being a member of that short list.
Gale, who served for more than 15 years as a councilman and mayor of Wintersville, announced during Village Council’s April 1 meeting that he planned to step down from the post on April 30.
That will bring an end to a long career that saw many accomplishments in the village, from improvements to the water and sewer system to seeing new businesses choosing to locate there.
