Paso Robles mayor absent for health issue

Paso Robles Mayor Steve Martin is taking time off from community matters to focus on his health and treatment, according to city officials. 

Martin has missed two council meetings recently due to a serious health concern that has not been disclosed. The mayor has received a favorable prognosis and hopes to only continue to miss council meetings through early spring. 

The city has asked for compassion, dignity, and respect for Martin's privacy while he is away. Mayor Pro-tempore John Hamon will fill in for Martin during his absence. Source: CalCoast News
