East Texas Mayor Resigns Amidst Rumors

ZAVALLA — Zavalla mayor Greg Fletcher turned in his resignation Tuesday, according to city officials. The decision comes one month after he announced in a special meeting that he would not resign. Attempts to reach Fletcher for comment Wednesday were unsuccessful. Councilman Carlos Guzman will act as mayor until the council discusses the situation in its Dec. 12 meeting. In last month’s council meeting, rumors of Fletcher being under investigation by the county attorney for using a city account to purchase tires were addressed by a roomful of citizens, including Fletcher’s father, Jimmy Davis.
