New Call for Resignation of Dewey Beach Town Manager

Dewey Beach logo

There is another call for the removal of Dewey Beach Town Manager Marc Appelbaum.

Rick Cross, an attorney representing a number of plaintiffs against Appelbaum, pointed to a note that says the town manager made lewd comments in front of several women in town hall.

WBOC reports that the note said Appelbaum made remarks about women who he could see through a window with a glass mirror near the courtroom adjusting their breasts.

The television station reports that in a letter to the Dewey Beach Town Solicitor Cross called for Appelbaum’s immediate suspension while an independent investigation is being carried out into claims of discriminatory and inappropriate behavior.

A review is also being done by the Delaware Public Integrity Commission.

A lawsuit has been temporarily been dropped pending completion of the investigations.
