Anthony Herman Smith resigns Seneca council seat

Last night’s meeting of the Seneca City Council opened without a familiar face. Absent from his seat was Anthony Herman Smith, and there soon followed an explanation. Mayor Alexander announced that Smith is resigning after applying for and accepting a job with the city’s Light and Water Warehouse. Alexander read a letter from Smith which, in part, referred to family considerations. A widower, Smith recently married a widow, and he wants more time to spend with her. The city will now turn to the county election office for the necessary process to fill Smith’s council seat.
