Our media partner KDLT is reporting that Hartford, South Dakota Mayor Bill Campbell and council member Bill Haugen Jr. resigned just after the start of Tuesday night's city council meeting.

Just after new council members were sworn in and the old council was dismissed Haugen stood up and walked out of the room.

After that, now former Mayor Campbell announced to the room that he was stepping down.

Hartford council members will nominate and vote on a new council member and mayor.

This is just the latest in what has amounted to internal unrest with Hartford's city council. Not long ago there was a movement to get rid of the city's economic developer position and also an email scandal.
