A deal has been brokered: Fields to resign seat

According to this hot-off-the-press story from Jackson Baker, State Democratic Chair Bob Tuke has apparently brokered a resolution to the Richard Fields problem. Tuke apparently feels that the resolution will NOT require a vote from the Executive Committee. He also said that the resolution will be announced at tonight's ExecCom meeting, which will be OPEN to the media, despite a Steering Committee recommendation that the ExecCom meet in private to discuss the matter.

Here's the pertinent update:

According to one informed source, Fields has agreed to resign from the local committee with the option to run again when a vacancy occurs. Meanwhile, he is apparently free to continue litigating on Roland's behalf.

Thank heavens!
