Here is my full Resignation statement, properly formatted and more legible. Please do not rely on word of mouth, or media statements that my resignation is just about Boyne City's 20226-27 Budget. The latter was my tipping point, but the situation, as I see it, is much bigger than that.
I implore you to read it, along with my 2023 Campaign promises, particularly the first bullet point regarding what is at the crux: What do YOU believe your City Commission's governance responsibility and accountability to you is regarding the depth of their engagement in and oversight of City Operations, Administration, and fiscal stewardship in the Budget? Elections have consequences. Was my advocacy on your behalf "micromanaging", as the new Commission has repeatedly made clear, or was it proper governance? I implore all citizens of our beloved town to pay closer attention to this Commission and above all, engage on an ongoing basis, particularly after the dust has settled.
Again, to my supporters, I am truly sorry. It was one of the toughest Life decisions I've ever made, and pray something constructive comes from it.
