Frank Hibbard resignation reason

As per US media reports, during a Special Council meeting on Monday the unexpected announcement came as Hibbard and fellow City Council members were discussing plans for a new $90 million City Hall and municipal complex. Announcing his sudden resignation, Hibbard said, "I am concerned where the city is going....Because this is simple math, and we are not doing very well on the test. But I can tell that I am not the right person, and I am a busy guy. I have always believed in making sacrificies for public service."

"I know this is shocking, but I am not the right guy right now. And I just called my wife, she is shocked. And I don't ever quit anything," he added. Notably, Hibbard had previously stated he wouldn't run again. His term was about to end in March of next year. Even council members like Kathleen Beckman were caught off guard. Beckman and Hibbard have often disagreed on issues. She is the “honorary” vice mayor of the city but that doesn’t mean she’s next in line to be the mayor. The $90 million project did not sit well with Hibbard because there is currently a $60 million deficit for it. The old City Hall is being demolished.
