“Sadly, my closing days on this position had been marred by unfounded allegations, threats, and false narratives disseminated publicly, all of which unfairly known as my character and integrity into query,” he wrote in his resignation.
Clay didn't provide specifics, however the Connecticut Mirror reported two weeks in the past that board president Andréa Comer obtained a criticism that Clay instructed a license applicant make a donation to the church she attends. Clay denied the allegation.
Clay couldn’t be reached for remark, however an ally on the council, Mike Jefferson of New Haven, defended her.
“It's a tragic day for me. I believe I used to be a sufferer of a private vendetta and a private struggle,” Jefferson mentioned. “It's unlucky, as a result of I believe she was a really competent, very clever, very hard-working government director, and most significantly, I believe, she was very compassionate about what was wanted for black and brown communities throughout this state.”
