Milledgeville Mayor Quits, Citing Health and Business Issues
Wednesday, February 4th, 2015
Milledgeville Mayor Richard Bentley has resigned after a decade in office.
He has been on medical leave since October, with acting Mayor Jeanette Walden filling in. Bentley, who won a third term in 2013, sent a letter to Walden and other city aldermen that said he would step down effective immediately.
“Due to my recent medical crisis and the resulting difficulties involving my former business, I consider this action to be in the best interest of my family and our great City,” he wrote.
