San Clemente City Councilman Gene James announced his resignation from the council in an April 26 farewell letter. His last day was April 28.
James, whose term was set to expire next November, said in the letter he plans to sell his home on Avenida Del Verdor in San Clemente and move to Wyoming where he can “embark on a different adventure and pursue our retirement dreams,” in a state, he said, has less restrictive water rights and rights to possess firearms.
