EWEB Commissioner Rich Cunningham has decided to not resign early from the board and says he will stay through the end of 2012, when his four-year term ends, according to EWEB spokesman Lance Robertson today (Feb. 28). Cunningham had earlier announced that he was resigning in early March because he was moving to a home outside of Ward 6, one of the two city wards that he represents. He says he will not be moving out of Ward 6, which he was elected to in 2008.
Cunningham has indicated that he would not run for re-election this year to serve another four-year term. He was elected in May 2011 to the Bethel School Board, and has been serving on both elected boards for the past eight months.
