Library Journal’s 2004 Politician of the Year Resigns

Anonymous Patron writes “After being announced as being one of the three worst mayors in the United States by TIME magazine (April, 2005), Mayor Dick Murphy has resigned effective July 15, 2005 says signonsandiego.com

He has been advertised as a great lover of libraries for his insistence that new libraries be built in a time when there are considerable financial difficulties in the City of San Diego. It will be interesting to see what happens now.”
