Hubbard Mayor Arthur U. Magee to retire in December

HUBBARD — Mayor Arthur U. Magee, a longtime figure in city and Trumbull County government, has announced he’ll retire.

Magee, who broke his neck in a fall this summer, said the accident has hampered him in carrying out his duties in the manner he would like.

“I don’t want to go half-way,” he told The Vindicator earlier this week.

He also said recovering from surgery that left him in a brace “has been tough on my family and myself.”

His retirement is effective Dec. 12. Trumbull County Democratic Party precinct committee people of Hubbard will meet to appoint a new mayor to fill his unexpired term, which would be over in 2011.
