Ledyard — A member of the Town Council has resigned.
Republican Thomas Malone, in an email read during Wednesday night's remote meeting, said, "being on the Town Council has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. It has been my honor and privilege to serve with a group of people that have the highest level of honor, integrity, and moral character."
The email didn't state a reason for why he was stepping down. He didn't return phone calls seeking comment.
Malone has served a number of years on the council and, previously, on the Board of Education. He served on the council's Finance Committee, having just completed work on the 2021-22 budget plan up for a referendum next week. The Finance Committee chairman, Town Councilor William Saums, said Malone was especially helpful in dealing with budget items involving emergency service departments.
