Franklin Mayor Tony Giunta announced he would resign his post effective immediately, citing the recent death of his mother and the need to spend time with family.
In a letter addressed to Franklin citizens last week, Giunta said he would leave the position “with a broken heart.” He cited the passing of his 95-year-old mother, who died of COVID-19. Her death spurred him to decide to spend more time with family.
