Mass exodus of city officials in La Marque
LA MARQUE, Texas – The City of La Marque is looking to fill six high-level positions after the people who held them resigned on the same day.
The first domino to fall came during Friday’s city council meeting, when Charles “Tink” Jackson, city manager, submitted his letter of resignation. Chief Todd Weismann, La Marque Fire Department, Chief Kirk Jackson, La Marque Police Department, as well as two assistant city managers, and the city attorney resigned from their posts soon after the council meeting.
Chief Jackson was set to retire at a later date but pushed up his day to Friday.
