(Richmond, IN)--Last week, Wayne County Prosecutor Mike Shipman made public the fact that he would not seek reelection when his term ends at the end of next year.  In response to a question about whether or not there was a specific reason for his decision, Shipman said that it has always been his plan to leave prosecution once he reached 30 years of public service.  Shipman added that he told people who are close to him two and a half years ago that this would be his last term.
