Pomona City Council to See Wave of Changes After Resignations
Pomona faces a largely new council as three newly elected members take oath while Mayor John Baker resigns. Acting mayor Virginia Breshears also resigns, with no decision yet. City clerk Florence Milliman consults officials for interim steps and staggered terms aim to limit turnover. The situation may leave two newly elected council members plus two appointees, with Wanda Barclay potentially moving to mayor, creating another vacancy.
