Mayor Milissa Holland has resigned.
Her adult daughter, Tori, has been in dire health for years, and Holland needs to perform her most important role first, she said. I m incredibly proud of being a mom, Holland said in a May 18 phone call with the
Palm Coast Observer. Your kids come before anything else.
Her last words in her last City Council meeting, on the morning of May 18, just hours before she resigned, also showed her focus on her role as mother: She told the council that she missed a recent event so that she could spend time with her son, who was visiting for the first time in years, from Germany.
