Oakland Township Manager Warren Brown comments on his resignation - suggests Supervisor Gonser should resign

At the August 11, 2015 Oakland Township Board meeting, Warren Brown, the current Township Manager, commented on his recent decision to resign. He did not go into specifics, but indicated it was a personal decision. He made many positive comments about Oakland Township. He then made several comments about Supervisor Gonser.

He commented on the statements Supervisor Gonser’s made in the Oakland Press announcement regarding his resignation. He saw the Supervisor’s comments as an attempt to take advantage of his (Brown’s) personal decision to leave as a method to advance the Supervisor’s “position”. Mr. Brown commented on how the Board has been fractured, and how he thought the Supervisor should be trying to bring the Township together, not further fractionalizing the community and the Board by his comments in the press. He ended by suggesting that the Supervisor should do the Township a “service” and follow his example and resign from office.

Supervisor Gonser was ‘speechless’.
