CONWAY — State Rep. Ed Butler (D-Hart’s Location) who was appointed by Gov. Chris Sununu’s to the Governor’s Economic Re-Opening Task Force on April 22, has stepped down, citing the need to concentrate on reopening his own business, the Notchland Inn. Lodging establishments now have the green light from the governor to open, beginning this Friday.

Butler, who attended his final task force meeting last Thursday, hopes his seat will be filled by Kermit Williams (D-Wilton), who serves as vice-chairman on the House Commerce Committee.
