During the regular monthly meeting of the Christian County Board Tuesday night, Chairman Paul Schmitz shared a letter of resignation submitted by longtime District 4 board member, Lloyd Washburn of Morrisonville who was absent from the meeting. Washburn cited physical difficulties as the defining factor in his necessity to resign. Chairman Schmitz expressed his regrets in having to accept the resignation in light of the years of service that Mr. Washburn has given to the people of District 4 and all of Christian County.
