The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal, 1/20/9
Almost all of Northeast Mississippi’s mayors will have a spot on the ballot in the upcoming municipal elections.
Mayors Ed Neelly of Tupelo and Richard Howorth of Oxford are the exceptions; they’ve announced that they will not be seeking another four-year term.
No one has qualified yet for the Oxford job, while in Tupelo, Republican businessman Jack Reed Jr. and Democratic City Council member Doyce Deas hope to succeed Neelly.
