But he's not going to retract the hateful things he said?The mayor of a small Texas town who told residents they were owed "NOTHING" as many went without power or heat during a deadly cold snap has resigned.
“No one owes you [or] your family anything,” Tim Boyd, the mayor of Colorado City, Texas, wrote Tuesday in a since-deleted Facebook post. "I’m sick and tired of people looking for a damn handout!”
“The City and County, along with power providers or any other service owes you NOTHING!" he said while urging residents to "step up and come up with a game plan" for acquiring power or heat.
“Only the strong will survive and the weak will [perish],” he added.

He also claimed his wife had been fired from her job over his comments and his family had received threats.
“I won’t share any of those messages from those names as I feel they know who they are and hope after they see this they will retract the hateful things they have said!” the former mayor wrote.
