Burlingtons controversial police chief is throwing in the towel

Burlington’s controversial police chief is throwing in the towel. Police Chief Jon Murad has submitted his resignation letter to Progressive Mayor Emma Mulvaney-Stanak, effective on or before April 7. The letter, released by the Mayor’s office, is dated Nov. 4 but was never publicly acknowledged by the city until Tuesday. Murad wrote to the mayor to say he will not seek re-appointment for a new term in 2025 but gave no reason. Murad has had strained relations with the Mayor and some members of the city council, the press, the business community and the general public.
