P&Z Commissioner Jack Whittle Resigns
The department and commission remains in flux.

WESTPORT, CT — Republican Jack Whittle is the latest member of the Westport Planning and Zoning Commission to tender his resignation.
Whittle, who was re-elected last year, stepped down this month, following Democrat David Lessing who resigned last month. Also last month, P&Z Department Director Steven Palmer left to take a job in another community, which led to the promotion of former Deputy Director Mary Young to replace him.
Commission Chair Cathy Walsh told the Westport News that she and Whittle had a deal that he would stay on the board through the adoption of new senior housing regulations, which they accomplished.
