SUMMARY: The Opalak City Commission has fired city manager Darin Williams following whistleblower complaints discussed at a recent meeting. Residents expressed mixed opinions on the commission’s decision, which passed with a 3-1 vote; commissioner Charlene Bass cast the lone dissent. Williams’s termination comes shortly after the former police chief accused him of misusing funds and meddling in police affairs. Just two weeks prior, Williams had filed his own complaint with the governor’s office regarding the conduct of other city officials, adding further controversy to the situation.
