The embattled director of the regional airport where a faulty, poorly maintained sprinkler system caused one of the nation’s biggest toxic foam spills says she is resigning because she had become a distraction from the oversight board’s cleanup efforts. “After much reflection, I’ve come to the difficult decision that my first duty is to ensure this good work goes on, unimpeded by outside politics and the political agendas of others,” Kristine Logan, executive director of Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority, said Friday night. “For that reason, I’ve decided to remove myself as a focal point.”
