Wyatt, who was elected in 2017, resigned her seat prior to the May 25 meeting when council members were slated to approve an abortion ban ordinance in the city, designating Lebanon as Ohio’s first sanctuary city for the unborn.
She said the anti-abortion ordinance was not the entire reason for her resignation. Wyatt cited the ordinance permitting people to carry concealed weapons in the council chamber, which is now in litigation; and the failure to establish a human rights commission.
