Health issues force Martin from STPUD race

Jimmy Martin has pulled out of the Nov. 3 race to be on the South Tahoe Public Utility District board.

On Thursday he said, “I have some health issues and some personal issues.”

He was seeking Seat 1. Remaining in the race are incumbent Ernie Claudio, and challengers John Adamski and Chris Cefalu.

“I am supporting John Adamski because he use to work (at STPUD) when I did,” Martin said. “I believe he can do us a nice job.”

Ballots are printed and mailed, so it’s too late to remove Martin’s name.
