Roanoke Mayor David Bowers calls it a “leave of absence”, stepping aside this week from his law practice of 35 years. Bowers says at age 62, it’s harder to get through the longer hours a private practice and public elective office frequently require. As WFIR’s Evan Jones reports, Bowers says his future plans are not yet clear, and he is not ruling out a return to his law practice.
