Supervisor Laura Smith Issued her Resignation

Supervisor Laura Smith has issued her resignation. It reads as follows:

A video I posted recently to social media has been greatly mischaracterized. Not wishing to give offense, I removed the video from  my accounts.  I abhor racism, anti-Semitic or discrimination in any fashion or form and my record as a township supervisor attests to my commitment to treat all people with dignity and respect.   

To allow the Township to move forward without the encumbrance of the fallout of my video, I tender my resignation from the Towamencin Township Board of Supervisors effective immediately. 

Respectfully,
Laura Smith

The Board of Supervisors intends to accept this resignation at a public meeting as soon as possible. The Board of Supervisors cannot and will not tolerate such conduct.
