Workers Comp board member resigns

The Associated Press

PORTLAND — A Workers' Compensation Board member charged with assaulting a man at workers' compensation conference has resigned his post.

A spokesman says Gov. John Baldacci received a letter of resignation today from Anthony Monfiletto. Baldacci accepted the resignation.

Monfiletto pleaded guilty earlier this month to an incident last fall while he was attending a three-day workers' compensation conference in Carrabassett Valley. Police say he attacked 43-year-old Scott Spencer at Sugarloaf's Widowmaker Lounge.

The Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting says it was the second assault charge against Monfiletto while on the board. The first happened in 1998. Monfiletto was one of three labor representatives on the board. In his letter, Monfiletto cited "personal reasons" for his resignation.
