Clearwater Mayor Abruptly Resigns During Council Meeting.

Clearwater Mayor Frank Hibbard resigned in the middle of a city council meeting, stating that he is "the wrong guy" for the job and that the council is spending recklessly. Hibbard, who was elected to a four-year term in March 2020, said that resigning is best for his own health, his family, and other unnamed reasons. The council expressed surprise and sadness at his abrupt resignation but assured the public that they are still on track with four council members present.
