MASSILLON One of the more notable developments leading up to the May 4 primary election could be the pending departure of the city treasurer.
Democrat Maude Slagle, who s served as treasurer since 2013, decided not to seek another term for the part-time position. She will leave the job at the conclusion of 2021. I ve decided it s time for me to retire, said Slagle during a phone interview. Nine years is a pretty good run.
Slagle s departure opens the door for incumbent Councilwoman Linda Litman, D-Ward 6, who has filed to run for city treasurer. That decision means Litman will not be seeking another term to her current office.
