A member of the Milton City Council has resigned unexpectedly, the second Council resignation in a week. George Jordan, who represents Ward 3, resigned verbally to City Manager Randy Jorgenson and City Clerk Dewitt Nobles. Jordan told the Santa Rosa County Commission at the board’s meeting yesterday morning that he resigned because of “grave concerns” about the direction the city was headed. Jordan’s resignation comes just days after Councilwoman Sharon Holley, who represented Ward 4, also resigned unexpectedly. She told the Pensacola News Journal that she resigned because of concerns about the leadership and direction of the city, and the behavior of council members and citizens at meetings. The Milton City Council is now down to six members, and must replace its two vacant seats within 60 days.
