A long-time MHA is not going to be on the ballot come the next election.
Perry Trimper lost his wife, Caroline, to cancer a year ago.
In a Facebook post, Trimper says it has been an honour and a privilege serving the people of Lake Melville, but that he is not going to seek a fourth term.
He likens politics to a fast-moving conveyor belt that is at first intimidating as to when and how to jump on.
Trimper served in various roles, including Speaker, and sat as an independent MHA before being invited back into the Liberal caucus by Premier Andrew Furey.
