Sag Harbor Mayor Ignore Calls to Resign After Anti-LGBT Web Trolling

Sag Harbor Village Mayor Thomas Gardella ignored the village board’s call for his resignation following an investigation into his recent disparaging comments about a member of the LGBT community on social media.

Four village trustees passed a formal resolution calling for the mayor’s resignation after the board also voted to censure him following a monthlong internal probe into the controversy. Gardella was the only member of the board to oppose the measures.
