The Jackson City Council will consider the question of paying legal fees for former Mayor Frank Melton and his two bodyguards at tomorrow's meeting.

Goldia Revies just released a statement saying that Mayor Frank Melton has been discharged from St. Dominic Hospital, and that he expects to spend the next few days resting. "I'm deeply touched by the outpouring of public concern about my health," said Mayor Melton. "I want everyone to know how much I truly appreciate their prayers and support. It's definitely no fun being laid up, but I've been fortunate enough to be in the care of some of the best doctors in the world."

The statement said that Melton's doctors are continuing to monitor his condition, and he is complying fully with their recommendations.

"I'm happy to say that I'm feeling better and stronger by the day," he added, "and I look forward to getting back to serving the citizens of Jackson as soon as possible."

The Jackson Free Press has been getting mixed reports about Mayor Frank Melton. We first heard that family and friends are gathering at Mayor Frank Melton's side in St. Dominic Hospital, but that report did not check out when JFP reporters went to the hospital.
