The following is a story by Chris Basinger, news editor of the Trussville Tribune:
TRUSSVILLE, Ala. (Trussville Tribune) -- Perry Cook announced this week that he will not seek reelection to the Trussville City Council during this year’s municipal election.
In a statement, Cook wrote, “It has been an honor to represent the citizens of Trussville for the last 12 years. I do feel our council and mayor working together have been able to move Trussville forward in numerous ways.”
He continued, “It is with great appreciation to my fellow council members, Mayor Buddy Choat, and the citizens of Trussville that I humbly step aside after this term.”
Cook held the Place 1 position on the council. All of Trussville’s city councilors are elected at-large.
“Perry always had a reputation for listening and giving thought to the citizens of Trussville and will be missed on the council,” Tribune Publisher Scott Buttram said.
