BURTON, MI -- Burton City Councilman Dennis O’Keefe is resigning from his position after a change in family health circumstances, he announced May 3.
“My wife has had some health issues for the last three years,” O’Keefe said. “They are very serious. ... The family and I have discussed this -- my wife is home now. This is going to preclude me from my council duties. I think the best thing for me to do at this time is resign immediately.
“This is one of the hardest things I have ever done because I have never quit anything in my entire life. I sure wish I could see my term out to November but it is just impossible.”
