New Castle County President Called On to Resign

The New Castle County Council has called on the council president Karen Hartley-Nagle to resign.

The Wilmington News Journal reports that the 10-to-3 vote was prompted by her refusal to participate in behavior coaching mandated by the council.

The paper reports that the mandate came after the county spent at least $135-thousand to investigate and settle claims of workplace harassment by a former aide.

Council member George Smiley sponsored last night’s resolution and there was no debate.

The night ended as the council cutoff an effort by Hartley-Nagle to address the issue.
