Second Candidate Declines Cache Board Appointment
Pyron reported that a second candidate declined a Cache County council seat, mirroring last week’s refusal by another nominee.

The Comanche County town has two vacancies on its three-member council since March 6, with the governor appointing one member, and the mayor plus the remaining councilman selecting the third.
