Mayor Sal Bonaccorso admitted using public workers and resources for personal gain

Clark Mayor Sal Bonaccorso resigned Friday after pleading guilty to using town employees to run his private business and submitting forged documents. Bonaccorso, who first came under public scrutiny in 2022 after making racist comments with members of the police department caught on secret recordings, resigned as part of a plea agreement following criminal charges.
