It was no surprise.  The Montgomery County Board has picked a new Circuit Clerk with Friday’s departure of Holly Lemons.  The Board tabbed the choice of the county GOP Central Committee, former Circuit Clerk employee Daniel Robbins.  While the news set off a wave of handshakes at the Historic Courthouse, a couple of blocks down Main, it begins a sports like game of next man up or next woman for that matter.  Unfortunately, unlike sports the Hillsboro City Council doesn’t operate with a farm system, minor leagues or football’s taxi squad system where someone can be promoted.  Mayor Don Downs had quite a hunting expedition in looking for a successor to fill the unexpired remainder of his term on the City Council.  Now Downs is asking interested citizens to reach out to him about the new opening on the council.  Robbins leaves the council with a year and a half left in his term.  Downs says interested residents genuinely need to have the best interests of Hillsboro at heart.
