Perhaps stinging from the last time around when he announced he was not seeking re-election and then more or less had to when no one else qualified, Mayor Jim Luken of Watkinsville may or may not seek another term for the helm of the municipal government of the County seat. When asked in a recent email as to whether he was seeking another term, the current Mayor was very coy in his reply:. "I will announce my future direction very soon first to the City Council and then send you an answer," wrote Luken after allowing that the widening of Wilson Road may indeed be included in the SPLOST list. Qualifying commences this time next week. This blog writer would bet on another Luken term right now.
