One of Nation's Youngest Mayors Resigns
By DAN NEPHIN
Associated Press Writer
PITTSBURGH --
One of the youngest mayors in the country has resigned three years
into his four-year term to pursue opportunities outside the state.
Chris Portman, who was 19 when he took office in Mercer three years
ago, announced his resignation in a letter dated Dec. 28.
He said nothing further about why he was leaving.
Portman's election drew the national spotlight to Mercer, a borough of
2,400 people about 55 miles north of Pittsburgh.
He met financier Donald Trump and President Bush, and was featured in
Rolling Stone magazine and on MTV.
But the attention eventually died down, and Portman missed most
council meetings the past year, said Councilman John Zohoranacky.
While on vacation last January, he missed the first meeting with the
newly elected council and the deadline for a grant to replace the
borough's broken weather siren.
Portman also squabbled with the council over his insistence on riding
with police officers and an MTV documentary crew that followed him
around town.
Some critics suggested he was immature and more interested in his
celebrity than in civics.
Portman could not be reached for comment Sunday.

Christopher began his political career in the spring of 2001 at the
age of 18. He waged a successful campaign for the Mayor of Mercer and
won the Republican nomination by a landslide.

Maybe that is the too good to be true opportunity he refers to. Maybe
HE's going into the collection business.
Not much of a jump really. Politics to organized crime. <G>
