Despite attempts to reach out to Zeger for a comment, Crawford County Now received no response. However, Zeger did post a statement on her Facebook page regarding her decision to resign.
In her post, Zeger expressed frustration with the challenges of serving on the City Council, including feeling judged by both residents who don’t even know her. She also mentioned her dissatisfaction with Mayor Tom O’Leary’s behavior, specifically citing a lack of respect for others, particularly women.
