Revelation – Stock’s Letter of Resignation

(Contents of the Letter) August 6, 2007 Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Lamar 102 East Parmenter Lamar, CO 81052 Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I have been doctoring most of this spring and summer in an effort to deal with hypertension caused by the stress of my job. As you know Acute Hypertension can cause permanent organ damage and I have experienced blood pressure readings high enough to indicate Acute Hypertension. My doctor has informed me that I must either reduce the stress I am experiencing, or I must quit my job. I will continue with my efforts to remove stress and stress related activities. I may even request from you a medical leave of absence to address this issue. However, I want you to be aware that I am seriously considering retiring on my next birthday, July 2010, for these medical reasons. For those of you who may be considering running for re-election or for election, I want you to be aware that it is likely that you will have to consider a search for my replacement beginning in the Spring. This will put a considerable strain on your time and reduce our effectiveness in 2010. read more…
