Both were recently seen making made racially offensive comments on a leaked Zoom video, apparently after a city meeting. Outraged residents had been urging DiPierro to step down for over two months, since the public release of text messages and memes he had sent to other city officials using the N-word.
“Recently, we have been faced with inexcusable conduct of elected officials and City employees that violates the public trust,” the mayor said in a statement. “These actions have caused deep pain in our community. I have spoken to and heard from residents and we all believe that significant, visible action must be taken in order for true healing to begin in Everett.”
