Onancock vice mayor announces resignation, effective May 20
Summary
Council member and vice mayor (Oswald) announced a resignation effective Tuesday, May 20, citing disagreements with the administration; colleagues offered brief responses and regret.
Council member and vice mayor Oswald (S17) told colleagues that they would resign effective Tuesday, May 20 at 11:30 a.m., framing the decision as a protest over what the speaker called an "ethically bankrupt" administration.
Oswald read a resignation statement explaining the decision and said the resignation would allow time to transfer notes and documents to the town. Colleagues responded with short remarks; one council member said they were sorry to hear the announcement and thanked Oswald for service.
The resignation was an individual announcement at the end of the public meeting; no administrative action or discussion of replacement occurred during the session. Council may follow the town charter and statutory procedures for filling the vacancy in upcoming meetings.
