in interviews Thursday that they left resignation letters on a desk in town hall and that their resignations were effective immediately The remaining four commissioners – Helen Porter Reuben Bumgarner and Bobby Munsey – are expected to vote on acceptance of the resignations at the board’s May 8 meeting the four commissioners will decide who fills remaining portions of Cruise’s term and Royal’s term by simple majority vote Cruise was in the second year of her first four-year term Royal has been a commissioner since 2017 and was up for reelection in 2026 Cruise and Royal said they resigned because of opposition from Nelson The board already had a special called meeting set for 9 a.m Saturday to consider applicants for the position of town clerk with the most recent hire resigning about two months ago Munsey said in an interview Friday that Cruise “wanted the job (of mayor) and ran for it and the people gave her the opportunity to do it… She wanted the board to bow down to what she wanted and now we’ll just have to put it behind us and carry on.” He said Cruise believes the problem is that it’s a male-dominated board “and that we are against the women I regret that she feels the way she does.” Nelson said Friday that the remaining commissioners must address the more immediate issue of naming a mayor pro tempore and finance officer Saturday in addition to possibly still considering applicants for town clerk Nelson added that he didn’t think he should comment further due to the possibility of legal action Bumgarner said Friday that the board’s attorney advised the commissioners to not comment on the matter due to the possibility of legal action It just feels like I’m knocking my head against the wall and nothing I say makes any difference.” Royal said she and Cruise have tried to reign in Ronda’s excessive spending while also trying to make needed repairs “We haven’t been able to get on the same page” as Nelson “I’ve been considering resigning for quite a while.” Royal said she stated in her resignation letter that although she appreciated the opportunity to serve on the Ronda board she believed her services were no longer needed Nelson was elected in 2022 and is up for reelection in 2026 Porter has been in office since 2014 and is up for reelection in 2026 Cruise said Nelson stated during a meeting with less than a majority of the commissioners present that she was nothing more than a hood ornament “I came into office wanting to make a difference” and Munsey Nelson and Bumgarner have made this difficult adding that the challenges aren’t worth the $240 per month she is paid as Ronda mayor Ronda commissioners are paid $140 per month with the mayor pro tempore paid slightly more Cruise said one ongoing issue is Munsey’s insistence on having an audit done on Ronda water system finances because he believes certain former Ronda officials pocketed water system funds Cruise said an audit already found this didn’t occur so she opposed paying for another audit Cruise and Royal were paid $18 per hour while they shared town clerk duties since the last clerk resigned in late winter Cruise wanted to formally approve Royal as acting clerk but the board voted to have Michael Boaz be acting clerk in their April 8 meeting Boaz helps the board develop an annual budget and advises on other matters of governance Cruise said she wanted to train the new clerk because of her recent experience working in town hall Nelson and Bumgarner preferred that Boaz train the clerk Cruise said she encountered opposition to raising Ronda’s water rates despite her belief that the town is headed toward a financial shortfall I’ve had to transfer money from the town’s general assets three times” to help cover Ronda water system expenses because the water rates are too low The 2024-25 budget kept Ronda’s tax rate unchanged at 35 cents per $100 of property valuation for about the 10th year Cruise said the charter establishing Ronda as a municipality should be revoked “because nothing is getting done.” Royal said she agreed The legislature can repeal a municipality’s charter and thus “unincorporate” a town or city with or without a vote of the people of the municipality or a request from its governing body Cruise cited a lack of progress on improvements to the Ronda water system The legislature allocated $3.5 million for the water system in 2022 and $1.8 million in 2023 She said both appropriations must be spent by the end of December 2026 The Ronda board agreed to spend part of the funds from the state on drilling a new well and thus save money by buying less water from Elkin which now supplies nearly all of Ronda’s water Cruise said a test well is scheduled to be drilled this month The board also agreed to purchase new water meters for all water system customers with the state funds The new meters can be read and recorded electronically so should improve efficiency and reduce errors Cruise said that in addition to the water system Ronda is responsible for maintaining a town cemetery a park along the Yadkin River and a park near the cemetery and picking up trash from residents and businesses within the town

coming out of a five-year retirement in 2021, Tate has had a rocky career return, going 2-2, including a submission win over Julia Avila in her last outing, but also a flyweight loss to Lauren Murphy. At 38 years old, Tate aims for one final title run, eyeing a potential showdown with the winner of Julianna Peña and Kayla Harrison In an interview with Aaron Bronsteter for Sportsnet Tate revealed that while she is certainly focusing on the task at hand by preparing for Santos she would especially relish an opportunity to face Kayla Harrison and is not opposed to a potential trilogy fight with Ronda Rousey Bronsteter asked Tate if Harrison’s judo background reminds her of Rousey and if that is why the potential matchup entices her “I just have way more skills now than I ever had before I didn’t know how to beat a judoka back then Despite the fact that Ronda has recently posted training footage Tate does not think Rousey will realistically return Tate would be more than willing to welcome her back to the Octagon “The only way I think Ronda comes back is if she really wants to,” Tate told Bronsteter “I think she should have to go through me first if she does decide to come back.” While a bantamweight title shot is still within reach the former UFC and Strikeforce champion believes the wins and losses are not what define success at this late stage in her career “I know there were many times in my career that I’ve won but I was far from being my best,” Tate said “I don’t care if I go out on my shield and there is only one way to answer that question.. It’s to glove up and have a game opponent and really test myself in front of the world.”  Please select what you would like included for printing: Copy the text below and then paste that into your favorite email application Utah to James Floyd John and Retha Galliher John Utah and graduated from Box Elder High School Clinton John Smith who passed away in 2003 Ronda attended Beauty school and worked as a hair dresser for several years She loved learning and attended the University of Utah where she graduated and earned a Bachelors Degree in Psychology She was also creative and in her earlier years she liked to draw and paint and did many craft projects She had a love for music and taught herself to play the piano She could also compose some of her own music Cooking gourmet foods and trying new recipes was another of her many interests She had many good times cooking Korean dishes with her nephew Writing was another of her passions and she wrote beautiful poems and letters and also wrote a book Ronda is survived by her sisters Earlene (Leland) Davidson A special thanks go to her Taylorsville 9th Ward Bishop and ward family for all the services they rendered We are also grateful to Twin Oaks Assisted Living and Canyon Hospice for their kind care of her Thank you also to her very special friends whom she made over the years Enter your phone number above to have directions sent via text This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply Service map data © OpenStreetMap contributors Ronda married Michael Rollin Morse on September 28 They lived in Toledo until they moved to Fort Pierce Mike and Ronda owned and operated Safe Surf Skateboard Park from 1977 to 1979 Ronda had various administrative jobs before she found her career path at John Carroll High School She worked at John Carroll for over 20 years She enjoyed painting and drawing from the time she was in Toledo to recent years She loved cooking and baking for her immediate and extended family hosting many dinner parties and large holiday gatherings FL;
