| BRUCE LOUCKS RESIGNS |
|
WENGNews writes, "CHARLOTTE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR BRUCE LOUCKS, WHO JUST LAST WEEK, TOLD COMMISSIONERS THAT HE WAS NOT GOING TO TAKE HIS MINIMAL RAISE GIVEN TO HIM IN JANUARY, STARTED TODAY’S COUNTY COMMISSION MEETING BY RESIGNING HIS POSITION. LOUCKS HAS BEEN COMING UNDER FIRE FROM COMMISSIONERS TRICIA DUFFY AND DICK LOFTUS FOR MONTHS, AND TODAY’S ANNOUNCEMENT WAS NOT TOTALLY UNEXPECTED. LOUCKS READ A LETTER TO COMMISSIONERS AND HIS EMPLOYEES SAYING HE IS EXITING GRACEFULLY, AND HE BELIEVES THAT THESE ARE UNCERTAIN TIMES AND WILL BE DIFFICULT TIMES FOR ALL. LOFTUS WAS CRITICAL OF LOUCKS AT THE LAST COMMISSION MEETING JUST TWO WEEKS AGO, SAYING AT ONE POINT “EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND, WE’RE SUPPOSED TO MAKE DECISIONS AND WE DON’T GET THE FULL INFORMATION.” COMMISSIONERS VOTED 4-1 TO ACCEPT LOUCKS’ RESIGNATION, WITH COMMISSIONER ADAM CUMMINGS THE LONE DISSENTER. ASSISTANT COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR ROGER BALTZ TOOK OVER LOUCKS’ DUTIES AFTER A SHORT BREAK FOLLOWING THE RESIGNATION. "
