Douglass Taken to Hospital

The Associated Press reports that longtime state Agriculture Commissioner Gus Douglass was taken to a Charleston hospital Monday with low blood pressure.

An operator at Charleston Area Medical Center's Memorial Division said "Douglass remained under evaluation Monday evening," the article said.

Douglass, who turned 82 on Sunday, is serving his 11th term at the ag post.
