OPA-LOCKA, Fla. – The mayor of a small South Florida city abruptly resigned from office during a commission meeting, saying he would “not be a figurehead for corruption.”
Opa-locka Mayor Matthew Pigatt, 35, stood up after the commission's public comment period on Wednesday night and announced his resignation in a prepared speech. It was not on the agenda for the meeting.
“With a crime rate of 84 per one thousand residents, Opa-locka has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 12.“
