About Mayor Weiss's resignation

Your webmistress suggests that you go to the YouTube video of the Feb 4th meeting. He resigns at the end, but you probably will want to watch other sections (or the entire thing) as well. If you have trouble with the audio, I suggest earphones. I have an over-the-ear set that works for me and my hearing aids.

The Brunswick Beacon has updated its story about the resignation. The last part of the story is most pertinent. The Mayor says that the choice of Marziano was not the reason for his resignation but rather the process that led to Marziano's hiring.

​The Mayor sent a statement to WWAY TV news:

“I truly love Sunset Beach. Being mayor gave me a terrific opportunity to learn more about the community and about coastal issues. In seeking the position, I was aware of the many wonderful aspects of Sunset Beach, and I was aware of some serious divisions within the community. I have worked as hard as I can to try to improve things, and I believe we have made some progress. There are some good initiatives in place and hopefully more are coming.

However, I am extremely uncomfortable with the process by which some recent decisions have been made, and I am very disappointed with the continuing resistance to trying to work together in the best interest of Sunset Beach. It will take me some time to fully process my experience. At some future date, I hope to share my thoughts in a way that will be constructive for the community.”
