At the tail end of a nine-minute speech — more on that later — District 1 Councilman Antonio Williams announced his resignation from the Goldsboro-Wayne Transportation Authority board during this evening’s Goldsboro City Council meeting.
The position would have put Williams into contact with a city department head at the center of an active investigation of the representative by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for his alleged discrimination of her and his alleged creation of a hostile work environment.
“I regretfully announce this decision, due to consultation I received that it would best for my protection and for personal reasons which have become too great for me to be able to fulfill the requirements of my position on the GWTA board,” Williams said.
The councilman’s resignation from the GWTA board is effective today. No details regarding who might replace Williams are available at this time.
Too bad it wasn’t his resignation from the City Council bc that would be doing the city and everyone else a favor!
your exactly right Lara !!
Did anyone else notice that Williams and Brandi Matthews were the only two members of the Council that didn’t welcome the mayor back after his cancer treatment and that Matthews rolled her eyes when the mayor got choked up? Those two are classless pieces of trash. Get them both out of there.
Isn’t Brandi Matthews the girlfriend of Bevan Foster?

Yall grown folk play these games if you want to, sadly, but leave my daughter oyt of them..Niw go tell you cousins, friends and buddies….dont come for my Daughter because her Mother will answer…
Kudos to you for your role in taking this guy down a peg. It’s pretty obvious that he is ignorant not to mention dangerous and that the other “publications” in our county don’t have the courage to stand up to him. Why aren’t the rest of the council removing this racist from power?
I expected him to apoligize to everyone else for his behavior at the previous meeting. Of course, that didn’t happen. He is still playing the victim. Brandi Matthews is going to be no better. I was hopeful he would be gone. I thought since Team Goldsboro 2019 was throwing that word amotion around that he was about to be gone for good.
