After less than two weeks on the job, the Marionville, Missouri mayor who said he
"kind of agrees" with some of Frazier Glenn Cross' anti-Semitic views, has announced his intention to resign. Cross is accused of
murdering three people at the Jewish Community Center in Overland Park, Kansas on April 13, 2014.
On Monday night, Marionville residents met with Mayor Don Clevenger. From OzarksFirst.com:
During Monday's meeting, Mayor Clevenger first said he would not speak, but after about a dozen people asked him to step down, and the city council voted to impeach him, Clevenger said he would offer his resignation.
Most of the people who spoke during the meeting said the felt Clevenger's comments did not represent Marionville, and they worry about the town's image.
"You are a representative of us, we are not a representative of you," resident Dan Noyes said. "What you say, what comes out of your mouth, is what we say."
Not everyone at the meeting called for his resignation. Several stood up for him, saying he'd been portrayed
unfairly:
Clevenger said he planned to deliver his letter of resignation this morning.
