Don Marcellus used to be the deputy Town of Hamilton Highway Superintendent.

In the last election, with the position open, Marcellus ran and won.

Now, Marcellus has stepped down from the elected post and is back to being the deputy.

Marcellus says that the highway department had his old position come open when Bob Graham left to take a job in the Town of Smyrna.

"I thought I could best serve the people of the town by going back to my previous position," said Marcellus.He added that he is happy to "be back in the work zone rather than being an administrator."

Marcellus said he discussed the decision with Supervisor Bob Kuiper and members of the town board. All were supportive of his move, and Marcellus said the department operations "would not miss a beat."

Marcellus said his pay was reduced as part of the move.

The position will be up for election this fall.
