EASTLAKE, Ohio — Eastlake Mayor David Spotton has announced his resignation.
The announcement came via a post from the City of Eastlake, which included Spotton's detailed resignation letter. Spotton's resignation went into effect on Sept. 23.
In the letter, Spotton claimed that the city council is "more interested in their own agenda, getting attention and Facebook likes rather than the greater long-term good for the residents, businesses, employees and visitors to our city."
Spotton continued in his letter by saying he would "not let members of this council continue to try and destroy my life's long work and reputation of doing the right thing with honor and integrity."
He ended the letter by expressing his sadness and disappointment.
"I can no longer serve the residents without an all-in team approach from this council, who are more interested in attacking me rather than moving the city forward," said Spotton."
