After the inaugural season of a minor league basketball team, Mayor Chris Martin, who has been the chief proponent of the franchise, did not attend tonight's special city council meeting, had already committed to spending tens of thousands of his discretionary funds on the team.

This was a wasteful use of tax dollars and the city faces potential further costs that were not budgeted. This decision is similar to one Martin previously made to allow "Bird" scooters in the city. That company eventually filed for bankruptcy due to injury claims,

These decisions and others mentioned in a petition for his resignation continue to deaw Loganspoet taxpayers to call for his resignation. Please join hundreds of Logansport residents, who regardless of their affiliations, are deeply concerned about our community.

Thank you for caring about Logansport.
