A change in leadership is coming to the County Commission in Stone County.
According to a report from the Branson Tri-Lakes News, Presiding Commissioner Mark Maples announced his resignation at the meeting on July 15 with Southern Commissioner Hank Smythe stepping in to preside over the meetings until an successor is appointed.
