Eureka Reporter publisher Judi Pollace confirmed this afternoon that Managing Editor Glenn Franco Simmons resigned from the paper today. Pollace said that the resignation was for personal reasons, and declined to elaborate.

"We wish him all the luck in the world," Pollace said.

Pollace said that she was in the process of writing an ad to seek a replacement for Simmons when the Journal called.

Simmons had helmed the paper, owned by Eureka businessman Rob Arkley, since it was founded as an Internet-only publication in the summer of 2003.
