MIAMI — Town of Miami Commissioner Ken Russell, set to depart place of work early next month, swiftly announced that he was quitting the panel on Thursday right after two of his fellow commissioners prompt scrapping upcoming month’s scheduled assembly.
That Dec. 8 meeting would have been Russell’s previous conference right before he still left place of work, and it was very clear that he did not want that session scrapped.
“If the City of Miami fee does not want to perform, we shouldn’t take a salary,” Russell tweeted Thursday evening. “Canceling the scheduled Dec commission mtg gives us approximately 2 months of vacation with out a mtg. I’m not below for that.”

Russell was set to focus on a rezoning proposal ahead of an anticipated vote following 7 days on a Coconut Grove rezoning approach, which the fee member had spent six months making ready.
Confronted with the prospect of that proposal getting scuttled if the December conference was scrapped, Russell exploded.
“The simple cordiality of this overall body to every single other to regard each other’s potential to get the work finished for our people is staying thrown in the rubbish right now,” he said. “So you can count on my resignation to be re-published this afternoon and count if for now. Since I’m completed. This is an absolute farce.”
But Russell instructed CBS 4 Information afterwards that he has not officially submitted his resignation paperwork to the town and that he could return if his colleagues agree to maintain their meeting on Dec. 8.
Under point out legislation, Russell is necessary to resign before the finish of his second 4-yr phrase when he ran for a seat in the U.S. Congress.
In August, he shed the Democratic key for Florida’s 27th Congressional District to Annette Taddeoo.
He was established to go away place of work on Jan. 3.
