Wilcott withdraws

HUTTO — Hutto City Council member Dana Wilcott has presented

her resignation from council, forfeiting her current seat and officially signaling her intention not to participate in a runoff election with challenger Evan Porterfield. The letter was dated May 5 and officially received by the city secretary May 10.

“As much as I’d like to stay and fight for the residents of Hutto, I’ve come to the painful realization that this ‘Hutto’ is beyond redemption under your leadership,” Wilcott wrote in the letter addressed to Mayor Mike Snyder. “Your toxic presence has poisoned our community, and I refuse to be complicit in your destructive agenda any longer.”
