Southwest Illinois mayor resigns after being indicted by grand jury on federal charges

Longtime Columbia Mayor Kevin Hutchinson has resigned, less than a week after a federal grand jury indicted him for allegedly lying to investigators about referral commissions he received on city insurance contracts. City Administrator Doug Brimm announced the resignation in a news release emailed on Monday. It referenced a letter Hutchinson wrote to the Columbia City Council. It is with a heavy heart, but due to the recent events, I feel it is in the best interest of the City and my family for me to immediately resign my position as Mayor, the letter stated. Last week, Hutchinson didn t respond to BND requests for comment through email or voicemail at City Hall. He was earning a $22,950 annual salary in the position, which is considered part time.
