Following the announcement that David Black, President and CEO of the Harrisburg Regional Chamber of Commerce & CREDC, resigned from the Municipal Financial Recovery Advisory Committee, Harrisburg Mayor Linda Thompson and Harrisburg Receiver William Lynch commented on the situation.

Thompson declared Black's resignation was essential because his position on the Committee had been comprised by last week's Chamber & CREDC video parody of the Mayor and the City's financial crisis, which Black took part in.

"I'm not going to let Dave Black and his shenanigans or his ill behavior be a part of creating further division and distraction," Thompson stated.

Receiver Lynch agreed that if Black had continued on as his role of Governor's representative on the Municipal Financial Recovery Advisory Committee, it could have been a distraction.
