Haines Borough Assembly member Sean Maidy resigned Tuesday, following the assembly’s 4-2 approval of a resolution interpreting charter to specifically allow for areawide emergency police service.

“I resigned because I cannot be a party to an assembly who willingly and knowingly violates their own charter,” Maidy told the CVN after the meeting. He emailed his resignation to Mayor Jan Hill at 8:22 p.m., immediately after the meeting.
