Councilman Leon Potter, who recently began an effort to recall fellow Councilman Bridger Kimball because of a 2012 DUI arrest, resigned Monday and plans to run for mayor.
Potter said his decision stems from Mayor Christian Price’s unwillingness to publicly demand Kimball resign his council seat because of the DUI.
Potter said Price told him in a meeting Monday morning he thinks drinking and driving is wrong and elected officials should be held to a higher standard, but people who have approached the mayor about the issue have stated Kimball should stay in office.
