House Speaker Republican Representative Rod Jetton was one of the few voices in favor of a bill passed last year that gave one man his very own village.

Jetton said the repeal is a direct attack on village rights.

The bill was passed by the legislature last year which featured a last minute provision that Jetton himself included.

The Speaker of the House also said village law is something he has supported since his time as a Bollinger County Commissioner.

Jetton was one of only six representatives that voted against the repeal.
