Only commissioner elaine lucus and virgil watkins were able to discuss the expectations of an elective official in regard to the situation .but did not comment on the resignation.

Lucus: my expectation would be that you elected officials would be sensitive enough to what's going on in their community it among their constituents that they would not make insensitive remarks.

Watkins: joe allen issued several apologies, including another one this morning on facebook saying quote "please be humble and kind.

I'm not going to resign for a mistake.tell me one that has not besides jesus.
