After the controversy last week of the Harrisburg Regional Chamber of Commerce & CREDC video parody of the City's financial crisis, the President and CEO, David Black, resigned from the Municipal Financial Recovery Advisory Committee. He was appointed there by PA Governor Corbett and has served there since the committee's formation in April.

At the December 12, 2012 Municipal Financial Recovery Advisory Committee, Harrisburg Receiver William Lynch Harrisburg read Black's resignation letter. Citing "recent controversies of my making," Black said his quitting of his position was so as to not hinder the financial recovery of the City.

In response, Lynch said, "I think he's followed the right course of action."

There is no word from Corbett's office on who will be appointed to fill the position of Governor's representative.
