By Tuesday night, he was gone.
Coston tendered his resignation effective immediately Tuesday, according to multiple city officials.

The executive board accepted his resignation. Mike has brought financial stability to our chamber. We all have been blessed by the numerous programs he brought to us over the past year and half.”
