In the weeks following his unseating from Delaware’s long-standing economic advisory panel, long-time budget forecaster Michael Houghton announced his decision to resign from his position as the marijuana appeals commissioner from Sussex County, effective April 24.
This decision comes after Houghton was ousted from the state’s Economic and Financial Advisory Council last month.
The controversial removal by Gov. Matt Meyer came a day after a news report where Houghton criticized the Democrat’s administration “over transparency surrounding the state’s prominent corporate franchise,” according to previous reporting from Spotlight Delaware.
