Florida Mayor Resigns DURING Meeting, says get someone else
This Florida mayor pretty much said f*ck it and resigned during a meeting. He said he’s not the right guy for the job and wants them to appoint someone else who actually wants to be mayor. You gotta give this guy two thumbs up for stepping out of a job that he’s no longer interested in. AP reported:
A Florida mayor turned in his resignation during a tense budget meeting and said he made the quick decision due to concerns over the direction his colleagues were taking with city funds.Clearwater’s Mayor Frank Hibbard called for a five-minute recess Monday and made the announcement afterward. Before the recess, the council had been discussing how to pay for a $250 million shortfall for about 30 projects, the Tampa Bay Times reported.Hibbard had pushed back against spending $90 million for a new city hall and municipal services complex while his four colleagues said was their top priority for the city of Clearwater, which has a population of about 116,000 people and is 23 miles (37 kilometers) from Tampa on Florida’s Gulf Coast.
