MARQUETTE, MI— Evan Bonsall is resigning from the Marquette City Commission.
In a letter to the City Clerk and the Commission, Bonsall cited a couple of reasons. He recently got a Master’s in Education from Northern and had hoped to secure a social studies teaching job in the Marquette/Alger area, but several months of searching have yielded nothing.
Bonsall also notes he and his wife—a doctoral student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison—wanted to live in Marquette. He says the lack of affordable housing has presented another hurdle to staying in the area.
Bonsall has accepted a job teaching U.S. history and political science at a high school in the Madison, Wisconsin area. His resignation from the Marquette City Commission is effective Tuesday.
