PORT DEPOSIT â Although the charter does not require it, Mayor Wayne Tome decided to resign from his town leadership to focus on his new position as director of the Cecil County Department of Emergency Services.
âI could wear two hats but I didnât want anything to distract me from my new role,â Tome said. Heâs been mayor of Port Deposit this time around for 11 years. Tome noted this was the third time he has stepped down from the town board.
âI had to resign from the council to run for mayor and I had to resign as mayor to run for the county,â he said. Tome was a Cecil County Commissioner from Dec. 2006 through Dec. 2010.
