Source: Cleveland Plain Dealer
AKRON, Ohio -- Mayor Garry Moneypenny announced his resignation Monday, eight days after taking office from longtime Mayor Don Plusquellic, over an inappropriate encounter with a city employee.
Moneypenny announced his resignation in a letter Monday afternoon, effective at midnight on Wednesday, June 10. He becomes the second mayor to resign in less than two weeks.
"Upon reflection, I believe that staying on as interim Mayor is not in the best interests of the citizens of Akron," Moneypenny wrote in an email. "I believe under the circumstances I would not be able to operate effectively and move the City forward during the next seven months. Therefore, I am resigning from the office of Mayor effective Midnight, Wednesday, June 10, 2015."
