The
King is dead. Long live the King. Those are the traditional words uttered when an
old king dies and a new king has been named to take his place. Here in Fannin County,
the old king—Commission Chairman Bill Simonds—has not died but done the
electoral equivalent by losing the election to a new king, Stan Helton. Helton takes
office in January.
