tribune concerning his resignation as finance chairman he has since reconsidered following publication of a statement by his successor councillor bill kamps the real reason for giving up the post he says was not because of a sub stitute resolution signed after after the meeting but due to the fact mayor eldred king had taken over the responsibility assigned to him the mayor and the treasurer worked together to compile the 1980 budget i was not asked as finance chairman to sit in on any of their sessions when the budget was presented to the finance meeting the mayor chaired the meeting himself i felt i could not sign my name to the tax bill as chairman of finance when i had no more to do with the budget than any other council member it appeared to me that the mayor had taken over my functions as finance chairman and the respon sibility lay with him councillor mcnalley said that the tribunes page 1 story may 29 was so far from actual fact he was compelled to speak out so that the
