For the fourth time in the term that started in 2020, a North Adams, Massachusetts city councilor has resigned.

Marie Harpin joins former colleagues Jason LaForest, Robert Moulton and Paul Hopkins in not finishing out their 2020-2021 terms. She made her resignation known to the city in a short email to the city clerk Tuesday morning. She was first elected to the North Adams city council in 2017.

Harpin did not immediately respond to a request for comment from WAMC News.

There are currently seven members serving on what is typically a nine-member council.

Josh Landes has been WAMC's Berkshire Bureau Chief since February 2018, following stints at WBGO Newark and WFMU East Orange. A passionate advocate for Western Massachusetts, Landes was raised in Pittsfield and attended Hampshire College in Amherst, receiving his bachelor's in Ethnomusicology and Radio Production. His free time is spent with his cat Harry, experimental electronic music, and exploring the woods.
