Wilmington Town Supervisor Favor Smith announced at Monday’s Essex County Board of Supervisors meeting that he plans to step down from his role despite the fact that his name will still be on the ballot in November. He cited recent deaths in the family and life circumstances as the reason for stepping down. The Adirondack Daily Enterprise reports it is now too late for Smith to be removed from the ballot and from the Republican party line, so his name will remain on the ballot in November.
