Lester Williams Resigns to Run for Sheriff

[Verbatim from Williams] In a letter sent to the Mayor's office three weeks ago, I indicated I was requesting an extended leave of absence from my position with Community Improvement to more effectively run my campaign for Sheriff of Hinds County. After giving this situation much thought and conferring with my family I have decided to officially resign my position with the City of Jackson effective May 31st, 2007.

I believe the job of campaigning for the position of Sheriff of Hinds County requires and deserves the same attention I would give to the position itself.

Thank you
Lester Williams
Candidate for Sheriff of Hinds County, Democrat

There's a whole lot missing between that first and second sentence. Did Melton tell him no or something? I wonder if Williams will elaborate on that later.
