“It is with deep sadness - yet great hope - for the continued prosperity of Wildwood, that I resign as Mayor of the City of Wildwood, NJ.' the mayor said in a statement Thursday.
Wildwood Mayor Pete Byron announced his resignation Thursday, more than a month after being accused of fraud in a state health program.
No reason was provided for the mayor's sudden resignation, however, officials did say his duties will be assumed by Deputy Mayor Krista Fitzsimons. Officials say Wildwood and the State Health Benefits program paid nearly a total of $1 million in premiums and claims for the officials, who were not eligible to participate because they were not full time employees.
