HOUSTON, Alaska - After three city officials tendered their resignations on Friday, the Houston City Council has been scrambling to keep the city operating. Former Mayor Virgie Thompson, former Deputy Mayor Lance Wilson, and the city’s treasurer Sally Schug all walked away from their positions afterResults of the election seated Mike Adams, Sandy McDonald, and David Childs to the city council.
It was not immediately clear why the city officials abruptly turned in their letters of resignation, but incoming member McDonald said that she had heard rumblings.“There was lots of rumors before the — even during the campaigning time — that if I was elected that the mayor and the deputy mayor would resign,” McDonald said in an interview after the meeting.
“After working with/for the City and Houston residents for 15 years , I no longer have the energy or patience to confront constant controversy,” Wilson wrote. “Given the statements of several of the newly elected councilmembers and their Facebook commando supporters regarding getting rid of the “Old Guard,” knowing the personalities of several of those on the Council, and me being in a very weak minority position would mean constant conflict and the inability to be effective. It was time to go.
