Nortonville, KY – Nortonville's City Council has elected one of its members to serve as mayor until after the elections this fall. Councilman Barry Merrill was the unanimous choice to replace former Mayor Jamie Noel, who resigned last week citing health problems. However, the Madisonville Messenger reports Noel's resignation comes a month after the council asked him to step down because of a lack of duty to his job.
