Madison County attorney Steve Maroney resigned from that post last week to prepare to take over as 26th Judicial District chancellor, the Jackson Sun reports. He received a standing ovation for his nine years of service. Maroney also will have to vacate two other positions he holds: attorney for the town of Three Way and Bolivar city attorney. The Madison County Commission and board of aldermen for Three Way will select new officers, while Bolivar Mayor Julian McTizic will appoint a replacement. Gov. Bill Lee appointed Maroney to the chancery court on Aug. 13. He replaces retired judge Jimmy Butler. Maroney will serve the rest of Butler’s term but also has said that he will run for his own term in 2022.
